for those of you with really bad paint or brand new cars

I was quoted 4500 dollars to wrap my black 911 in white.. forget that

Its the best option for leased fleet vehicles. It's becoming popular in the exotic crowd. But yeah, done right it can be expensive. I did the stripes on my 944 out of boredom, the worked well for a year until I pulled them off without too much effort.

$4500 buys a nice new paint job.

It all comes together now. The guys at RUF recently did a Carrera GT in matte black and I didn't realize what the photos showed until today.

I hear it's around $3k. I'll do a costly paint job instead, thanks!

Last weekend I saw a car with a plastic wrap on the hood. It was a non- replective black, but if you like that sort of thing, it looked technically good. One application of this might be on bumpers. I was given a quote to paint the bumper on my then Nissan 240 SX SE of $300-400. The Nissan had a dull finish on the bumper already so if the color match was available it would work. How much do you think it would cost?

i read this thread.... the idea of all vinyl is nice , but it's too $$$. it's like clear bra on the whole car.... for big $$.

my 2000 has rock chips on the bumper cover and hood. I called a local body shop today and got a quote of $750 for a new paint job on thsoe sections, blending into the fenders.

i'd rather spend under a thousand for new paint, then maybe clearbra the front.
