Is this cheap for a paint job??
 
Hi I drive a Honda s2000 and i know a buddy of buddy of mine who owns a shop and says he can do a good paint job inside and out for 1500$.
I dont know anything about paint jobs and price but he told me he can give me champion white almost like the same color that comes stock for a new
s2000. So yea is this a good deal? he says since im good friends with my buddy he will do it for that price. Also if any one can beat that price and do a good job msg me thank you

that is a good price if the quality is good. It could turn out to be a $500 maaco job. What is the shops name? usually GOOD shops charge around 4k.

ask what kind of paint they will be using :D, 1500 in and out seems Cheap. For that price Most shops will only do outside.

yea thats extremely cheap. I'd be worried. material alone on completes in and out is about that price.

if you like your car i suggest going elsewhere, unless your confident in the guy

I know a few shops that will do special pricing for employees or even friends/family of said employees. They usually just do it during off-hours and charge straight cash, billing them purely for the materials used and pocketing the rest off the books. Not entirely legit, but it's how a lot of shops stay in business. However, because they're done for their own employees or their friends, the jobs tend to be fairly decent.

If it's for a friend, most likely they'll "only" charge for materials. I feel kinda bad but hey, you can offer them a nice dinner and stuff later as a thank you. :)

Its the bodywork/prep that makes all the difference IMO,so is all that included in the price?
