Who or where to get my crx painted?
I know this has been posted but I want to get a good feel on how I should go about getting my car painted. I've done the maaco thing once a looong time ago and it was ehh paint and I've done the pay a backyard painter and damn that was sketchy and didn't end up well. out of the two I would go back to maaco but I want some opinions. Car has a few tiny spots of surface rust which I hope some sanding can take car of and with a light sand and taped up it should be ready to go. I want good paint used "red" and want a good job done. Don't want to spend over a grand honestly, would like to spend half of that. I have always been told that you can either have quality, price, or speed when getting stuff done and you have to pick 2 , but I want it all! Car is a crx so not a lot of ground to cover. I live in Lanexa and work in williamsburg so I don't want to cross over the water to get it painted. thanks in advance

Wow dude, if you only want to spend $500, then maaco may be your only option. Just because you want all of the 3 (quality, cheap, and speed) doesn't mean you'll get it. Either learn to paint yourself or sacrafice quality. Mid grade paint from any paint store is gonna set you back at least $250. Being red, look closer to $300. You do the math.

Re: Who or where to get my crx painted?
i was thinking of paying 500 to get it sprayed, spend about 250ish on paint plus extra lil stuff. I am not really asking about the price it is more about where. It is no hidden fact that I am cheap and wish to get more out of stuff then I can and I know that painting a car isn't something you can get by going the cheap route so I know what I am asking is reasonable with someone just spraying the car for 500 but that can also raise also. I just wanted to see where everyone gets their car painted and who is recommended.
