I have recently been blessed enough to afford new paint and wheels for my car.
I previously had horrible paint on my car and she was ready for a fresh coat. Me and my dad done all the body work and prepping and my brother arranged a painter he worked with to paint it on the side for $100.
He also done some trading and only charged me $40 for the materials!!!!!!
LOL I spent more on bondo primer and sand paper than he charged for materials.
Anyways heres a before and after.

Well I had several spots that had to be filled with bondo. I also had a big dent in the left quarter panel that took a good amount to fill once we worked the dent out.
Paint,Materials and labor: $215
Wheels and tires: $630
windshield & rear window rubber trim: $40
New Fog lights: $76
New front spoiler: $6

Grand Total $997

I'm glad you asked for the total because I had no idea what the total was.

They are actually Konig Rated R's. I sold them to a friend.
He is trading his 200sx in so they are up for sale.

Very nice! Looks real good.

Looking good!

Had some bondo left over from another project, primer and sand paper was somewhere around $70. The real money saver here was the fact that the painter only charged me $40 for the paint and materials. He did some trading with a paint guy , I don"t know all the details and I am not sure I want to :). I gave the painter a tip seeing on how he cut me a deal on everything.

Very nice improvement. Looks tight with those wheels.

damn that thing look badass....but don't you wish you could hide those big rusty rotor's..... but anyways looking good man represent the white classics.
