dude they have this 50 dollar paint job where you use this special paint and do it yourself. Its time consuming, but it literally costs 50 dollars. If you got the time I can find the link for you just pm me

Go play in traffic.

Any time I hear someone try to begin a logical sentence with 'dude', I quickly deduct that the person in question doesn't know what they're talking about.

Heres the 'Awesome $50 paint job thread' in discussion; http://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/...0&fpart=1&vc=1

Those $50 paint jobs are worth $50 for a reason. They will not shine (Its definitely a 40 ft paint job) or last as much as a regular paint job. Also, once you go acrylic, say good bye to ever painting your car again as normal auto paints will not adhere to it. (the whole car will need to get sanded down).

Here's what you do.

Go to Maaco, when you are doing the walkthrough with the person painting your car...toss them an extra 50-100 bucks cash, and tell them to take care of it for you. You showing them the respect that you trust them with your car, and are willing to pay more than they are making just for the job...will pay off.

If you can't afford a ~500 paint job from there, get out of the car modding game. Shits not cheap to be done right.
