^ nah, it's someone I know, lol. Back to the painting thing though, everyone is pretty much right, the job you have done is going to be dependent on the amount of money you pay, you spend 200 bucks, ur gonna get crappy work done, but if you are looking at decent work done, be prepared for $2k-$3k

If you are that good and you can use rattle cans...buy a compressor (pretty much any size will work) and get a $15 paint gun and you are set ($100 investment tops + paint)

Hardest thing about painting is the prepwork...you will spend a good half day taping that bad boy up...my dad and I painted a car awhile back...prepping was the key

Whoever does the paint job be sure to get a look at other vehicles they have painted and look at it for any inperfections.

well i live in the cayman islands and it cost me $2300 CI to do a 2 tone paint job which is equivilant to $2738 usd but like most people say it depends on the paint but you also have to keep in mind that to paint black over the white that you already have will take alot of work atleast that's what iv'e heard some people say or maybe it could be the other way around wish i could help you more but sorry.

Well I Live In Weston, Florida Pretty Close To Miami. I Have A 2004 White Lancer Es And Just Got The Body Kit Installed And Painted Last Week For $800. My Original Paint Looked Good Before I Installed The Body. But A Good Price For A Full Paint Job On Ur Car Would Be $1200 If U Keep The Orignal Color. To Redo Everyhting White Would Be $1600-2000 And To Change The Color Would Be About $2000+.

i installed Accolade's Extreme V2 kit, but after a "magical flying tire" on 95 decided that my car was worth crashing into, i decided that fiberglass blows. cracked so DAAAAM easy. Old people in florida can't drive and when they get cut off by other country boys in trucks & SUV they hit objects on the road... like tires. So a stock bumper witha RRM lip is where i went for my final look. Also the vortex was installed later for a nice clean look. Glad i got it to look so good with the stock bumper & lip. Hope u all like it.

just noticed and I dunno if its been said. But black is very hard to take care of. if your white is looking dull, the black will look even worse 10x faster. something to think about.
