nice cheap like the chinese ebay special. id say you will be paying 599 in another 2 years.
if you want a proper respray you will have to atleast take the windows out.
if you want to pay 599 for a respray will b interesting to see how it turns out. do they even use a booth?

I dont think the $599 price includes much if any prep work at all.

Given that 80% of the job is prep $600 definitely wont involve much if any prep.

Do the prep yourself.

well yeh prep and paint makes 80% of the cost. buy the paint yourself and prep the car yourself, and you could probably get away with a pretty cheap job.

yer the prep work is the most important part of the paint job and then the quality of the paint as well.
Any body can use a house roller to paint a car.
but you really need good prep work and top quality paint also the knowedge of how to get the two together so it looks good
