Hi there,

I'm planning on getting a 2000 Honda Civic SiR and i wanna paint it a nice electron blue. How much do you think i'm looking at to get it done?

Also...T.O Spoilers told me the Wings West 3 Peice Mid Wing is about 720 bucks installed and painted. But if im getting my whole car painted all i will require is assembly on the wing. And what are the best Paint Shops around our area?

Thanks Guys

Are you talking about a repaint of a car that is already EBP or doing a complete colour change? If its a colour change, I would just buy an EBP SiR in the first place and save yourself the trouble.

why paint a car when the paint thats on the car should last a few more years if properly maintained?

If you really want to paint it, go with other shade of blue (if you like blue) cause it is your chance to do a make over and go back to stock colour, to me, may not be wise.

Audi A4 Nagano Blue is very nice. As for a decent paint job, it is protional to the money you pay (more or less) and generally, you are looking at at least 2G for a decent job.

Make sure the shop uses Flex Agent in their paint, without it, your new paint will chip off like there is no tomorrow.

My dream colour is Audi TT Gray for my hatch.

Keep looking till you do. There is one at a used car lot in Burlington, on Plains Road just west of Ikea beside a Timmies. I saw it yesterday.
