| Best place to get car painted (price/quality)
Both my dad and brother are looking at getting their cars painted,
2007 Audi A4 (silver) - wanted color = red
1995 Mitsubishi 3000GT (black) - wanted color = yellow
We are speaking of two different cars right here, any suggestions of places in Vancouver to get cars painted for a good price but just as good quality paint?

wow ur painting an A4?, i find that red paint always fades,
We got a couple of our bumpers painted, and one car fully painted at the repair shop in the complex next to where AJ-R used to be behind Ikea. They advertise in those azn papers and on the tables at parker place food court. Not sure about how good the pricing is though, but quality was good.
Don't go to Continental? or something its called, on Bridgeport and shell? They didn't do a very good job on our volvo 3 years ago, and we're not going back.

A full paint is wanted on both cars, i read about some place last year they did paintjobs for 600 for white/black or 800 for any other colors... this was in Surry i think. I've seen as low as 300 even but I'm sure the quality sucks and the paint will chip away within a year.

Sell the A4 and buy a red one. The cost of repainting it (including jambs, trunk and engine bay) at a quality place will be quite high. If you only paint the outside, it'll look like shit and no one will want to buy it when you go to sell it later.
Because the Mits is harder to find, I say either sell it and look for another or just keep it as is.

normally shops charge $300ish to paint a bumper. so do the math.

For a shittier car, you could always send it to BCIT and wait.
But your cars are too nice for that
Didn't maaco offer $500 paintjobs? although they're still pretty shitty.

A "QUALITY" color change - including the door jambs and under the hood & trunk is gonna run you at least $5000/per car.
You get what you pay for.

I didn't expect the full color change to be that expensive, nvm then.
The 3000GT paint looks bad, if It was to get new paint black over original black approx how much would it cost... at a specific location.
