    Agreed that cheap isn't always the best.

    Spent nearly $200 in just supplies (dupont) to paint a full body lip kit. That's not even considering labor. As I've learned cheaping out means you do it twice (used cheap primer)...or in my instance more than twice.

    I would think 1k for a car is still cheap.

    Do it right the first time unless you want to pay more in the end. That's the best advice I can give.

    Yeah i normally pay about 200 for my paint materials. The color changes the prices.

    I know a couple of shops in the area that can do you an all over paint job that is very decent for 1000ish dollars. Ive seen a few and they were good, vinh's body shop in hapeville did my blackroof and hood on my blue car. came out really nice.
