Here's my point:

1. This kid has been here since 2008 and doesn't get not posting 3 threads and using the search function
2. Nobody is going to do a decent paintjob for $1000 bucks. Hell, it cost me more then that just to get the front clip painted on my old 5.0
3. Personally, I'd get a good book on how to prep a car and prep the ever living shit out of it. Then you can go to a bodyshop and maybe get a good deal...or you could even man up, rent a spray booth and do it yourself
