View Full Version : Good Place to get my M3 Hood and CSL trunk painted in Dallas/Plano area
kiddkynetik 02-22-2006, 02:56 AM Hey i'm a Student at UTD so, money doesn't come to easily. But i was interested if anyone knew a nice palce to get a couple parts painted. THe install will be done by me so, just paint for a decent price. I've been getting rediculous quote for 800 and 1000 n stuff and i know it doesn't cost that much for just painting my hood and trunk. If anyone has had any experience with any SHops in the Dallas or Plano area Preferably, but i'll be willign to drive to the irving area also if its a better deal and they've done a good job before. Let me know thanks in advance

werd...
when i went to UTD i drove a rust-covered '86 GMC safari minivan with a tapedeck with knobs for radio controls and no middle or rear seats....
Yeah on this site you always see kids with m3's and stuff complaining about how poor they are :rolleyes
But to answer your question, $800 for hood and trunk seems about right if it's a high quality shop. I would think if you skimp on just the hood and trunk, the difference between that and the factory paint job on your quarters and doors will stick out like a sore thumb.
n3wbie 02-22-2006, 11:00 AM you get what you pay..
CSL trunk is $1000 alone! I would just pay the $800 since you invested that much already.
Or you can go to Maaco..... :rolleyes
luckytopher 02-22-2006, 12:42 PM $1000 for a trunk?! are you insane?
does it give head?

does it give head?
no but it does look badass
luckytopher 02-22-2006, 02:17 PM no but it does look badass
i guess i can't imagine a $1000+paint trunk being worth it
hinzm3 02-22-2006, 02:25 PM i guess i can't imagine a $1000+paint trunk being worth it
eh, if you're already spending 60k on a new m3 whats another 1500 bucks

in that instance, sure that could possibly fly...
in the instance of a college student w/ a 330... ehhhhhhhhh
SecretAznSauce 02-22-2006, 02:29 PM when my wife graduated from UTD in 01, she had a 92 camry with 197k miles. I had a 94 Integra.
oh paint....kylon FTW. pay the eight hundred, paint doesn't cost much. its the labor cuz you have to blend the surrounding paint and wet sand and buff it.

yeah I wouldn't spend that kind of money on a 330

try Roadrunner on beltline/I75, they're right next to yamaha dealership. they did an awsome job on our car back few years ago and not too expensive.
Greg S 02-22-2006, 03:42 PM email http://scottwax.com/ and ask him what paint shop he recommends
Teaguer 02-22-2006, 04:37 PM I would suggest "The Best Autp Body" in Richardson .
They are behind Classic on interurban .
(972) 690-0059
Ask for Oscar .
Austin 02-22-2006, 05:48 PM GTI or Stuarts if you want it to look factory.
n3wbie 02-22-2006, 09:30 PM get eric to paint it
russiamutha 02-22-2006, 09:41 PM get eric to paint it
+1, better than maaco job
I've had work done by stuarts and highly recommend them they do great work! they matched a 1/4 panel perfect. and got rid of some ugly pinstripes and a new front emblem for free and they were great.
