man i was thinking about painting my black tc pearl white buts its ridculously expensive here in Canada. 3000 to have the panels painted and like another 1500 for full car paint ( door jambs/engine bay etc ).

Mind you the price i got is from a very highly regarded shop and at a discount lmao.
I was going to say 4500 is a pretty good price for a full car repaint. Looking at about 6000 for a quality one here.

Now put it away for 1-3 months to let the paint cure, otherwise it's gonna look like you took a rock blast to the nose. I had my front end repainted after my hood and fender were replaced, the bumper is all salt n pepper.

This price was from a buddy who owns the place and i set him up on a deal for new garage doors for his new shop. I bet regular its 6k+.

Those look nice. Should get a vinyl that says "Winter", "Snow", or a snowflake for each one and mount your snow tires on em.
