Looking to get my car painted. Anyone have any hook-ups? What are the cheaper colors? Car is red right now.

What is it going to cost me? 2003 GT

In some paint lines the cost of the color doesnt vary much. In most lines it can easily quadruple in cost. However, even that being the case, the cost of the color is usually small compared to the overall price of a full dunk. No matter the color, the same primers and clear is used. So at most, chosing a "cheap" color will only save you about $300 max in materials. Generally reds, oranges, yellows, purples, are in the high end, blues, greys, greens, silvers, golds in the middle and black and white are usually very cheap.

88gt is the man in the paint and body area. he only does high quality work and doesnt cut corners. but, as in everything - you get what you pay for. if what you want is cheap, you need to look at econo paint and body or earl sheib. i believe i have read that BAHM also paints on the side very reasonable.

if you want to save money go with a similar color to what is on the car now....to avoid all the extra prep

There are just paint chips and door dings and stuff. Could it be touched up, or would it be a better diea to spray the whole car? I dont like rigging things, I want it to be done right.
