well just a pint of PPG paint, clear, and thinner is like $40+. OEM is like $80

 

i wouldnt say the two compare, and i KNOW it will be done right, and i dont think theres anyway in HELL id get a clip done at this place for $100. they are REALLY good at what they do and i would say they typically charge a premium for that...but i was a bit surprised...thats all. *sigh*

 

Hahaha pint of PPG for $40....I get it for a lot less than that...I think I pay like 25 for it and the clear is only about $10. besides you also have to figure they more than likely have a lot of this lying around...we always have extra clear and thinner floating around along with various paint that we use on little things.

Technically the money has been made from the paint and is just leftovers or touch up thats been there for a little bit. The red he is getting is a popular olor so they probably have a ton of it al over the place.

Just think of it this way Blake...your paying for experience and the satisfaction of knowing it will be done right the first time.

 

i have a black car...and not a normal black, crazy crappy honda black.

 

I thought you had a red one....hmmmm

 

:chuckles: even the guy's at Allis Paint Supply (leading Milwaukee supplier of PPG lacquer) hate mixin Black or White. They are some of the hardest colors to match :happysad:

 

If they do good work, then go for it then.

 

well, whens the last time you thought about something before replying to a thread?

 

Well since every time I have seen you post a Civ Hatch I see a red one and not a black one then the obvious onclusion woulld be that you have a red one.

Either way it doesn't matter and I will just remember not to give you any friendly advice to any of your legitimate questions from this point on.

 

You know, renoylds makes colored cling wrap now.... It's the perfect way to tint windows too. Oh, it's a simple process too, just let it sit on the car in the sun.
