looking for someone to paint my car
 
well i'm tired of looking at my ghetto rattle canned s14 and would like to get it painted. don't need a show quality otherwise i'd know where to go. looking for someone that has their own gun or paints on the side etc. looking for a single stage witn clear coat black. nothing fancy just want it clean. i'm looking to spend around the 500 ball park. i don't care if you use whatever brand paint as long as it lasts and won't fade. let me know thanks local to south jersey/philly only thanks.

Macco. If you can spend a day sanding they can spray and clear it. Since they are independent you gotta research each location but I'm seen some really good work and some crap. You might also have to do a little buffing afterwards too.

this. maaco is your only option for $500. it will be shiny and black, and if you do your own prep work the finish should last a fairly long time. just don't expect any more than that.

X2 especaly the macco in frazer pa. They use dupont paint tools and booth's and do one hell of a job for the price. plus if you get there urathane paint its good for years to come.

then just take it to maaco, drop it off and tell them to give you a call when it's shiny. really not trying to be an ass, but for $500 that's really your only option.

That's even a streatch for 500 the whole rattle can thing is gonna screw you in the long run.

The networking section is for non-paid requests only. Moving to the interior/exterior section for anyone who wants to continue to advise, but I will agree that $500 is not a legitimate paint budget for a full car unfortunately, except maybe maaco. If you want decent results I'd definitely think about holding out longer, and saving some more cash to put toward it.

Is that the one you used for your red'ish car? If so it did turn out really good especially for what you paid.
