I'm wanting to paint my car BLACK. It's a 1989 GEN2 LE Performance Camry. I'm wanting to know a "rough estimate" on how much this will cost...fully head to toe, including my body kit painted. Thanks!

Performance camry eh? that some sort of "factory package?" lol

well, for a paint job...good job....$1200, crappy job $600. Depends on what needs to be done, and how well you want it done.

i asked an estimate price for my GEN 4 Camry was $8,000AUD ($5,966usd).

EDIT: The Paint costs approx $1,000aud per litre.

i have another question, is blacking out my taillights legal in louisiana? is it legal everywhere? and how hard is it to do?

leasaunce · 10-18-2005, 09:08 PM

im pretty sure they're legal, as long as you dont do it too dark so that other cars cant see the diffferent between your brake lights or your reversing lights.

alright, i'm going to get the erebuni style body kit, but right now, my parents bought me 4 new tires..but they can only fit 14" rims on them.. will the 14s look to small with the body kit? or will it be alright for a while?

Tommy · 10-18-2005, 09:12 PM

its gonna look goofy with a kit and factory wheels.

toyota89camry · 10-18-2005, 09:16 PM

well, do you know any good websites that sell rims? i don't really want to spend a lot of money on them preferably 17"s but i'm going to have to buy 4 new tires also..which is kind of rude since my parents bought me 4 new tires about half a month ago

my gen 3 sdoor is black and when that som bitch gets a good detail job from me (wash polish buff) shes SEXY! specially with my 5% tint, it looks incredible!

Anyways a good paint job, it all depends on what your lookin for. I used to work in Toyota/ Lexus body shop for a while just puttin paper down and tape to prep for paint and some paint jobs cost 800$ all the way up to around 2500-3000. Thats just for a solid color, no special colors like kameleon er some shit. Its all dependant on how glossy u want it mostly. The base coat of black is always gonan be about the same but the gloos you add to it will cost you. U just want it black, comparative to most stock low grade vehichles. U want it to shine so u can see yourself in the paint, expect to spend around 2000$ minimum.

It will alo run u more if you want your door seals, trunk seal and under the hood done too.....

Hey I sell you my Motegi 18 inch gun metal rims WITH tires, only been on for a few months, plenty tread for ummmm......600$. Seriously I send you all the pics you need and offer a complete money back guarantee if you arent happy.

They look pretty dope on a black car....

Also its not rude if you keep them for backup OR for change of season...winter time, snow, you wannt take off your rims before u catch a patch of ice and curb ur nice rims....

toyota89camry · 10-18-2005, 09:20 PM

i can't wait till i get all of this done, i'm also going to get the 20% tint on all my windows, it's going to look nice

if anyone has pictures of their black camrys please post them!!

toyota89camry · 10-18-2005, 09:24 PM
