    Let's start here:
    What model?
    Body work?
    Rust repair?
    Color change?
    Price range?
    And this is just to start!

    Is it a GN?

    If your really looking to travel... I know a guythat has painted about a zilliion cars and two GN's that I Know of. Both GN's were FAR superior to the factory paint when finished. Both looked like black plexi glass! Both lasted a very long time too. Not shure if he is taking anything or not. Look up RACEBUICKS on this board. Quality paint is worth the trip.:TU:

    Not trying to b a downer, but paint/materials(things most guys wouldn't think of) it's self will probably cost that much w/o labor. (done right). some of these things are getting kind of pricey

    Who's Benjamin and can he paint my car? j/k
    Yeah i know paint prices are rediculous for a car anyway. I could get my house painted for half the amount! Well like i said i'll be going to Maaco they said they have 2 types the $300 and $500 so i will be going for the $500 cause they said the paint is better (THEY say). I'll post pics when it's done Thanks again all!

    Patrick,
    If you do go the Maaco route I would suggest that YOU remove the chrome and other trim before the job.
    Keep everything at home and reinstall yourself.

    I'll second that. their main goal is speed. if it shows now, take care of it yourself(minor dings and stuff). If there is any thing that you don't want painted I'd remove it before you go. they are quick and dirty.
