going to paint my car

[Bbandit]

yup
i asked for a quote to repaint the whole body and fix all of the dents at a local shop today (a close friend referred me to them)
and the guy (frank) will do it for 850
that includes sanding, fixing the dents, and repainting the whole body
i saw their works and they did great
im dropping of my car next week and its going to be done in 3 days..
i'll keep y'all updated
hope everything goes well

It makes more sense why your deal is $850, because your pretty much recoating the car. &nbsp;Your car will be looking brand new once you get it bad. &nbsp;Fresh new paint.....no CLEARCOAT will make your car look like it just rolled of the showroom floor.

WTF?! i dunno where that came from , lol , but clear coat is what makes the car HAVE a showroom shine , if there was no clear coat the car would look dull , and clear coat also helps to seal the paint so that it doesn't eventually fall off your car in sheets...hehe

not trying to be a jerk or anything , just telling it like it is

hehe thats cool, I actually got that line (with some other words) from the guy that painted my car.

It does look like it came straight from the showroom floor. &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/hehe.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':hehe:'>

huh? what was he smoking? no biggie but since i work in a body shop and we CLEARCOAT every car we paint i didn't know that you could not put it on , just said really wierd to me

All depends what kind of paintjob your doing. Base/Clear is the most common and most durable now, but if you went with a laquer job, you wouldn't put a clearcoat on it. Just a LOT of wax.
