Question for Orange-GSR...

[Shades]

Hey I was wondering how much you paid for your paint job? Also where did you take it?<P>I'm thinking about going to Maaco and getting my free estimate.

[Orange-GSR]

Hey Shades <P>Well I work at Dams Ford in surrey in there Bodyshop so I did the paint there with the help of one of the painters if you go to my site <A HREF="http://mx3power.tripod.com" TARGET=_blank>http://mx3power.tripod.com</A> you can see the work involved with that High of a paint job. The Book value of that paint job was around 4000-4500 But I did 90% of the work<BR>The painter and myself are trying to find a rential paint booth for him to spray cars at for cash once we do I am sure I can work out any custom job for under 1000. I payed 750<BR>O Yes and dont go to Mayco They use the cheapest paint and clear on the Market were as we use all Dupont.<BR>Let me know if you have any more questions and sorry it took me so long to reply I have been bizzy getting my car ready for the show/meet weekend

Hey Sean... I think that's what your name is. Do you mind if I ask a couple more questions... no hurry on the replies.<P>If and when you do get that rental paint booth going let me know... $1000 for a new paint sounds decent... just gotta get the dough.<P>Also, I just bought a rear spoiler like the one on your car. Mine is a RS and I was wondering since you took apart your car, how would you put one on. It's got about four nuts and bolts under it. Since mines a RS where the spoiler is suppose to go there is that black plastic piece that goes the length of the window across. Am I suppose to drill that? I also need new rubber for the edges, what and where would I go finding it?<P>I hope that's not too many questions for ya... thanks for your help. Muchly appreciated...

Do you mean a GS spoiler? or the GTR Wing because I have the GTR now not the factory.<BR>If you got a GS spoiler then the holes are all ready there for it under the hatch garnesh but if you got the GTR wing then you need to drill the holes for it.<BR>If you need help doing this let me know,I am sure I can give you a hand.

Hey orange GSR<P>Im Oscar, I also have an orange MX-3. actually it is too close for comfort, why did you decide to paint it orange w pearl gold?<P>I realize that I cannot be the only orange mx-3 out there. When I painted my cat over two years ago. I was,to the best of my knowlege the first and only. I wanted to be original. It bothers me to see others with it. but then again, you are now the 4th to my knowledge with the colour. 3 including myself in Toronto and yourslef now! So I'm pretty passive! $4500 sounds right. That is what I paid<P>I must say it looks really nice! But I just wanted to be the only one! I guess thats out the window now!
