    Black Primer

    So my cars paint isn't in the best condition with scrapes, clear coat peels and rusted scratches (live in cali but have driven it to the east coast..big mistake!). Anyways, I don't have the money for a paint job right now and was wondering what the price difference is between a full paint job and just getting my car black primered.

    I hear a decent paint job is around 300 bucks..that's a basic one..

    Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

    i just think that if you have $300 for a basic paint job then just save that money until you can come up with an above average paint job.

      $300 paint job will last you 1-2 years, and you will end up at the place you are now. What I don't understand is why would you want black primer only paint? Not putting paint on the primer is not going to solve anything... it will still rust through, fade, etc.

        A decent paint job should be over $1000

          Well the 300 dollar paint job was a good thing for me only because I don't plan on keeping my car for more than another year or two...and now I have garage covered parking and everything. I'm hoping to move soon and start fresh by getting a new protege. not protege5! regular protege..or if i can afford one, a mazdaspeed protege.

          but all work on my car is on hold right now, as I have just entered my car to be on PIMP MY RIDE...lol..we'll see how that goes. that would just be the coolest thing ever!
