I’m looking for someone who can do a re-spray on my White 1992 Olds Achieva SCX.

There are plenty of clear coat spots and paint totally gone spots on the car, but no RUST.

Just looking for a respray, seeing who wants to make some money?

PM me offers, quick pick of the car:

Is 2+2 equal to 4?

LMFAO yes Newman, they only made 1500 in 92 and 500 in 93.

Yes there is:

GM had to make x amount of production cars so they could be raced in SCCA and World Challenger.

Not the reason you were going to come up with was it?

Anyway, enough OT: GL getting your POS painted.

Lets stay on topic please, I don’t want to have to report every asshole who thinks their car is automatically better than someone else’s because the motor is pink.

The reason my car is awesome has nothing to do with the color of the motor.

Anyway, you probably can’t afford a good paintjob since you’re poor, so maybe try maaco or something.

Thanks, your commentary isn’t need though, If I was poor why would I have bought a car 6 hours away?

That sounds just about as smart as you.

:lol:

wow

how nice do you want it to look in the end? are you talking resto/show quality jambs and everything or just tape off the exterior and go? I’d offer to do it but for more then you’d pay at sheib or maaco… they really don’t do all that bad of work for the $$ just do all the prep work yourself

I’d just like the outside done, the jams and everything else being white already. Shade won’t bother me inside the door jams.

I’m really unsure of what a decent price to pay for this kinda work is, so shoot me an offer anyways, lol

</div>

around me it would cost around 1400 to get that done, any less and you will get what you pay for

obviously 1400 isnt the best paint job but materials alone for a non-shop are 400+

^^ that

plus it depends if you want 1 stage or base/clear. With the regular stock white there’s no point in doing anything other than a simple 1 stage. I’m assuming you’re not looking for any pearls added in or anything like the caddy/jag/etc whites.

I’d want to look at the car just to get an idea of all what prep will be involved and get some prices on materials

Understood, I was ballparking about $1500, and that’s about what the budget would be.

I will do that Karter, thanks!

STM is coming by tonight to take a look at it and give me a rundown of what needs to be done, I’m new to getting something painted professionally, everything I’ve ever done was spray can job on the race cars.
