yea but what do you need? are there dents/scratches? do you need to get rid of previous paint? are you going for a show finish or just rust prevention on a beater? this information would all help to determine where to send you...

You could have explained that to me in your first post!

No dents, No need to remove old paint. Just need the same color, over the whole car. I want a good paint job. Doesnt have to be show car quality just better than factory.

yeah if you read the fine print at the bottom of the Macco ads it says "PAINT ONLY", meaning no prep and probably no clear coat and finishing which are very important steps left out.

Thats too cheap.. All Im finding is shitty places that will do it for $500 and good places that will do it for 4k. Why nothing in between?

 

[4DRZ06]

400 to do a hood and 2 fenders seem good from panda's dad if peopleand then they need to stay at macco.
