I just got a quote to paint the ctr usdm kit.

I showed him pictures and gave him all the information.

He said he would do everything (sand, primer, and paint)
for $300. He would take his time since it's a side job, but he is using dealership equipment. (About a week to paint.)

I'm not worried about how long it takes, as long as it's done well.

One more thing he mentioned, is that they have a special primer on site that helps prevent rock chipping. It's really strong stuff supposedly. He showed me a random piece of plastic with the primer on it. There were no marks on it, but then he said they beat on it with a chain of keys. :eek: I know bigcase said his chips kinda easy; I'm hoping this helps eliminate it.

So I'd get the heavy duty primer, full sanding, and full painting for 300 bucks.

well, so far it looks like my extra money is going towards a ctr replica kit and spoilerdepot ctr wing.

:D I'm curious to see some more opinions.
