Looks a lot better! If you don't mind me asking, how much did that run you?

I love the paint. Came out really nice.

What would I be looking at to have rust on my Z24 fixed (rear quarters cut out and new metal welded) and to have the whole car repainted black (either really deep glossy or most likely flat black hot rod style)? The car is allready black now, and the engine bay and stuff wouldn't need to be painted.

promoking - i really don't know the prices at the shop, so call 416-225-2303 and the estimator will gladly price it out, i know for sure complete paint jobs start at around $2500 +

scarlemthug - yours is a darker grey, mine looks more like violet dark silver in the sun

scarlemthug - i'm neither a painter nor a bodyman at the shop, that's why it took me so long to get my own car paitned ... i'm kinda like a shop foreman/trim specialist/customer service etc. ... mainly i look after the shop/guys and inspect most of the cars before customers receive their vehicles
