As for paint...I'd say get PPG...it's really smooth and sprays nice and thick

If you notice the order of the posts, I said it was steep before he mentioned it was a factory color. You can get House of Kolor paints (non Kandy) for 30-40 a pint. h:

Since we are talking about paint in an average how much would it cost me to paint my teg after i prep it all (pulling out dents primering and welding of holes so pretty much they just have to spray it with paint)???

I will reserve judgement about all aspects of that Civic aside from the quality of the paint, but the paint does look good.

eh...I'm estimating you could spend about $400-700 easily. Are you providing the paint? or does the body shop? You're pretty much paying for labor, even though it's not labor-intensive, it's still labor. But anything over $1,000 is too much, anything under $250 is going to be shitty. so...I hope that gives you a good range.

i had a feeling there would be some negative reviews of the car itself... not my taste either, its barely driveable but it is gorgeous.
