i just got my car painted, Imola Orange, it cost me right around $2,500 (with fixing a lot of body damage: dings, dints, being hit in the back end!) its a three stage paint, so i got an extremely good deal! i get to pick it up tomorrow, a family friend works at the body shop i had it done at, they do awesome work! matt even had his car (an S2000) fixed there. if you're interested in getting your car painted go to him!! its well worth the money, and Shawn's right, you get what you pay for.
