Cost of full-body mod + new paint?

Paint the body lime green, get carbon fiber accents (lip, side, rear addons), and gunmetal/black wheels and call it a day.

Haha @ joker and hulk comment

That would look pretty sick.

you want green theme idea...just google "green goblin build thread"

K so the first picture is how I feel about green lol drive it off a cliff.

On a serious note, I simply dislike this color. If your serious about a one-off color then pick something else other than green.

I perfer the following over green

If crazy is your style then I say Lambo Orange... With some sick big lip rims gunmetal not black...

I think it looks good in green.

earwicker7 · 06-07-2011, 02:02 PM

So the first shop I called (on a recommendation from the best detailer I've found) wants $10,000 to paint it a new color. On to the next shop... any recommendations for a good place that won't financially rape me in the Los Angeles area?

Have you considered doing a vinyl wrap? A full vinyl wrap should cost around $2-3k and would be a lot cheaper than painting it. Also, it's removable and protects the cars original paint

Gunzero · 06-07-2011, 02:12 PM

expect prices around that price for a full repaint.

I disagree. I like the green. I think the green on that model is

, but to each their own.

You might want to call this place:

Auto Werks Body & Paint - El Monte, CA

Seems pretty reputable and they quoted me $3500-4000 for painting my car. Can't personally speak for their work but reviews seem promising.

I agree. If $10k seems out of the question, a full wrap at around $3500-$5000 depending on the shop, is probably more reasonable. You should still repair the damaged areas first though.
