Saw this pop up on craigslist and decided to put a deposit on it to hold it for me since I figured it may move quick. What are everyone’s thoughts? Seller sent underbody shots and it is pretty clean - imported from Japan.

Maybe your body shop is in Manhattan.

I am in Southern VA. I have a much larger vehicle getting painted right now and with bodywork I am less than $2,500 into it. One of the best body shops in the area.

Macco's here charge between 399 and 799 depending on the package you pick.

If you're paying over $1,000 for a single color 2 stage paint job not body work that is high. I could see $1500 based on location. The materials is less then $500. My Corvette has a $1000 paint job on it and it has won several trophies.

I guess some of you are thinking about Barrett-Jackson but I was thinking presentable driver that still goes off road.

I not trying to be rude by any means but very few people here have a $10,000 truck let alone a $10,000 paint job.

I have seen $50 rustoelom paint jobs that would compete with the average 20 year old LC paint job

This turned out looking pretty good from the pictures

This is what mine is going to look like within this month (top pic taken today, bottom is what it will look like); spray paint on the sides, spray bed liner on the flares:

Have you priced the cost of paint materials lately? Base coat, clear coat, harder, epoxy primer, etc......
You can't even purchase the materials to paint a 60 series based upon the prices you noted above, never mind the labor. I would love to know what kind of materials you can get for $500.00 total.
