Not sure what section of the forum this should go in but, I'm buying a black widow kit for my 95 civic 2 door and i'll need a paint job. I know I could drive around and ask places but I was wondering what a decent paint job will cost, just black on the entire car after i put the kit on. I'm not talking top of the line but i don't want crap either. An estimate from you guys would be great. Thanks.

i know around here in north carolina, its atleast 900 unless you want crap. from what i've heard stay away from places like maaco.

I heard mako just repaints the outside of the car no door jams or anything...

yes, maaco is known as "splash jobs". They don't paint the jams, engine bay, underneath of hood, etc. I don't even think they remove lights. They just tape off stuff very crapily and fly at her. I think at some places they might not even sand off the old paint!
