Is it a good job? If so then probably not.

There are A LOT of factors in a paint job.

Number of coats of primer, number of coats of paint, amount of prep-work needed.

Type of paint, colour of paint even (some colours are more $$).

Pearl etc etc.

It really depends.

9000 sounds like a lot for an S2000 as it is small, assuming the car didn't need much bodywork to start. I hope you got a nice job though, you pay for quality. For that much I would expect colour sanding and all.

It was a pretty good job, and I requested a custom design on the sides (just a few flames no big design). 9k was a lot, but I sorta think it was worth it considering the nice job they did on the design. I'll post a picture up when I get my new scanner next week.

I don't get why people do this. If it is too much your SOL anyway, maybe ask -before- next time

I ask BEFORE because I have a habit of changing my mind and I want to know how much do other people pay so I don't get ripped BEFORE I get a new paint job.
