Painting HT Locally
For some reason, tomorrow I really just want to take my Mugen Rep HT to Maaco about a mile from my house and get it painted.
However, they want a little over 200 for the minimal body prep, seal, and paint. No clear or anything. Does that sound good?
I am mixed between wanting to wait and try to find a deal a little better and just doing it.
My S2K sits in my garage, or sits under a parking structure at school.
ONE thing I CAN"t believe is I think I could have two stripped holes in my hard top. When I removed them all for the first time, two came out difficult and the threads on the bolts looked kind of gnarly!!!!!

what color are you trying to paint it? I can recommend you to someone that can maybe paint it for cheap...
Let me know when you're available so we can go there and get a quote. It's in Santa Clara area...

@ kaan: does your shop do body repair as well? I wanna get my dents fixed and the whole car repainted at the same time. Im most likely going to keep the custom color i got.
@justin: same goes with the shop you recommend. I don't ever want to go to maaco or other paint and repair shops that do poorly. The starion i got is black but it gots drip matks every where.
Im looking to spend around or under a grand. Im gonna keep the color i have. Majority of my paint is still good. I just want the dents gone and fresh paint. LMK guys. Thank in advance
