anyone know how much a whole car spray would cost roughly (i know it varies a lot)

just for normal stock colours like red black silver etc... and is it harder to paint over red than it is to over say white or does it all just get sanded back anyway?

if i was you id get a fresh jet black spray done, would look sweet imo

ive noticed the black paint used on new cars are really different to cars around 95-00 could just be the fading, but even good cond. old models just dont have the same black if that makes sense.

ie. brand new beemer or aston martin in black is so hot

ive just got back from pricing and the cheapest is the best. for just doin what i want is gonna cost me 6500 and for air brushing and insert its gonna cost 8000. im gonna get black with a red pearl i saw pics and art work from these guys and its awsome. im gonna get air brushing round the fto badge and wheel arches. the mob im goin to is called paint doctor. if u have a look at the new street machine they done a torana init. its the yellow one.

From what Ive heard about those guys they are pretty good
Not being biased at all but green pearl would of looked better

joking
Should look really good, when are you getting it done?

Black with red pearl was the colour I was going to do my FTO .. I originally was going to do the Lancer in that colour but opted for the Evo X blue instead ... I think black with the red pearl was too much for the lancer...

So I know what you mean about how it will look ..

Sonata's are great cars btw .. Mitsu engine ... And I had one with an Evo engine in it...
