Milano Red in progress.. PICS! =)

[!@#$%]

I love the Laguna Blue Pearl.



I agree that Honda America should have made Milano Red an option on the palette.

Hope they cover your exhaust, so that your exhaust can stay shiny(if it is already) and not match the color of your car from over spray...

haha, yea, after i took the pics he covered up the rest of the rear.

wish you'd gone with the cosmic grey though, but this color still rocks.

haha thnx

haha... was wondering if someone was gonna ask that.

I'm prob paying more than I should be, but this guy does put in a lot of time and detail in his work from what i've seen when i was there...

1. he said red, orange, yellows etc. cost more than other colors, even mica and metallic colors.
2. he is also painting the full HFP lip kit
3. he is also re-clear coating a CF hood so that would run like an extra couple hundred right?
4. he took out a shitload of dents.
5. and yes, he did paint the door jams and part of the engine bay (since it wasnt taken out).

so what do you think i should be paying, before i even say it... lol

[Mini-Odyssey05]

$2,500?

lol... really? but nope, not 2500... figured it'd be more for al that work? if it was just the car and no lip kit or CF hood and a non-bright color i'd say yea lol

I could have gotten milano red after an accident where my whole car was being repainted from scratches... but i couldn't have the door jams too. I stuck with ssm

if it's a top notch job, probably 5-6k.

show quality paint jobs can be upwards of 15k.

[Lost03si]

if its top quality.. I say $4k

[Mini-Odyssey05]

if its top quality.. I say $4k

haha, bingo, right on the money. he's chargin me $4k.

[socmex7]

i'm with Chazwick05, prolly round 5-6k... i can't wait to see the finished product, esp with the HFP kit!! i don't think i've ever seen someone paint the HFP kit any color other than OEM ones... props for the idea!

haha, 5-6k would be way outta my price range. but yea, 4k it is. yea, i dont think i've seen a Milano Red HFP kit, so it should be interesting. thnx for the props!

i guess everything is more expensive in jersey, unfortunately :(

the shop i go to is highly respected, and a couple mercedes and bmw dealerships use them exclusively. they do all high end porsches, ferraris, lamborghinis, etc. so you get work that looks better than factory, albeit at a premium.

for example, after an accident i had to get my rear bumper repainted along with a new taillight, a large dent taken out of the driver side quarterpanel, and repaint the entire driver side quarterpanel. total estimate: 2200 dollars. hooray for the lady's insurance.

wow, haha... maybe.

but yea, i mean i was just looking for a good quality factory paint job, nothing crazy... but every1 told me not to bring it to the dealership.

so i went to him and he pretty much guranteed me that when he's done, it'll look beter than factory. and seeing some of the parts painted alrdy, im pretty much satisfied cuz i am getting what i paid for. not show car status of course, but just a good quality paint job.
