Default Need a little paint work done...

Ok so I'm finally gonna start throwing a little money towards the s2k, I have had it almost a year and have not done one damn thing to it. I desperately need the front bumper/lip/hood repainted. I don't have a ton of money, and I don't need a "perfect" job, as the rest of the car is full of scratches/blemishes, but I do want the colors to match. I know there are always threads like this, but I'm willing to drive and am definitely on a budget. Anyone do sidework/work that comes well recommended? I'm looking to do this w/in the next month. Thank youuuu Car is black btw for those that don't know.

let me give you one piece of advice. your car is black, if the paint work isnt PERFECT, its gonna look like shit. Black is a magnifying glass for flaws. if the rest of the car can be buffed and detailed than it can be brought back to life to look good. get some good quality work, than have the rest of the car buffed and your shit will bling.peep the vendor review threads. pm me if your interested.

Yeah, everything you're saying is right. But Im BROKE. As that stands, I can't handle the front looking like shit anymore. I was debating on getting a buff job for the rest of the car, but my problem is that here at JMU, literally every other day I notice a new scratch, dent, door ding, something. Kids around here just don't care. So I'm wary of throwing a ton of money into the paint work only to get progressively more pissed off as it keeps getting messed up. The main problem is that the owner before me didn't take care of the front lip, and its peeling and has huge chunks of paint missing, and I can't handle looking at it anymore. What would you suggest in this situation? I know you do excellent work, but you may be out of my price range lol

yea i know jmu can be pretty rough, i freshened up a girls 4 runner that goes there. i painted a bunch of stuff and buffed the entire truck and it looked brand new. i ran into her the other day and she said it was still looking good but id hate to see the truck again after she comes back, im sure its all dented up. message me, let me know your budget, ill let you know what i can do for you. i dont price things totally ridiculously,if i did i would never get any work , very reasonable prices and you get back excellent and warrantied work.
