Custom Paint Job

[Director01]

I'm ready to get a paintjob done on my car and I'm looking for tips. I want to get something unique but not too fancy.

What I have in mind is exactly like this but with a candy green instead.

I like the glittery look of it.

So where should I start to find a good place? I want the paint job to last and I'm willing to save for a bit longer and pay a high price for something that'll be extreme quality. Should I buy the paint myself? What should I look for in a good shop? I live in Philadelphia incase anyone knows of a good body shop in the area. I really feel like this is the 'make or break' part of customizing my car and I really want to get the best paintjob I can find.

If you want to get the best possible job, make sure you go for a 2-pac acryllic paint + clear coat. This is what comes from the factory, so you know it will last. It will cost a bit more too, but it's worth it. Really, a paint shop is a paint shop. Ask around and see if anyone has any panel beating work done and what they thought of the shop.

If you can get the paint yourself, go for it. That may save you over-inflated prices from the shop, then it is just labour...

Just my opinion tho..

god wish I was good at painting. I suck at it so much . I will also be going for a paint job on my car once I deal with the rust and such.
