    best thing to do if you dont wanna spend alot of money is to just dig in. The body work isnt all that hard. there's alot of info out there to help you. you just have to apply yourself and you cannot lose patience. spraying takes some skill......some body shops will spray your car for a lower price than the whole job.

      <u>quick tip:</u> if the factory paint is showing through the new paint, sand down the newer paint until you get to the original color. you want to o this because the person who repainted it obviously didn't take the time to properly scuff the old paint so there is adhesion problems. n e other questions just ask.

            Remember that I posted earlier in this thread about a good DIY paint job? Well, it's peeling off now.

              its all in the prep work. Its peeling off because the paint isn't sticking for probably numerous reasons. Its not the paint, or how the gun sprayed it on.......PREP WORK!

                  dude, just go get a quote from five star if ur serious. Scott got his whole color changed with expensive fuckin paint and some body work for 290o which is not bad IMO, it looks really good

                              thers a few random spots mainly on the hatch where the stock shows through a spot in the repaint like a candy apple red under some nasty maroon red

                                        when going with the same color as factory it's easy when i was 16 i had a car i fixed after smashing it and did all the prep work then my dad sprayed it turned out great... the bad thing about changing color is to do it right you have to get inside the engine bay do the fire wall inside the door jams inside the trunk/hatch area and that shit starts to suck and adds up in the old pocket book really quickly
