Painting Your RX8
 
I'm looking to paint my Rx, however the prices in Canada to paint the car are around 5-6000k. What are the prices in your area? ( if you know ) so maybe I can road trip it one day, check out the city and have my car painted in the mean time.

what colour you going with ??

It all depends on what you are looking for.

mako under 1k

a good paint job 3-5k

show quality 10k +

The biggest cost in painting a car is not the supplies (i.e. type of paint color even though prices do vary) but the overall labor put into the car. The result of the paint job will be decided not when its being painted but how much pre work goes in to it and how much work is done after the paint has been laid.

Very expensive to get done for a full car repaint done right

:o how can you be sick of silver?! In my opinion, thats the only colour I would go with for an RX-8, black is nice but silver really stands out. For you question there is a custom car shop in Toronto called Connery's Customs. Heres the link for the shop http://connerycustompaint.com/

Hope you get what you want!

on black its harder to see the curves of the car. But black is a good color still

And isn't that the best part of the RX-8? the amazing curves of those fenders, MMMMMMMM

Lil_Gato 02-24-2011 08:53 PM

My Matte Black Paint sure shows off the curves well..

monchie 02-24-2011 10:35 PM

On white, you'll see all the curves and details :yesnod:

Speed_8 02-24-2011 11:40 PM

yea white is nice too , makes the car seem bigger aswell... a nice blue aswell, as you can see im undecided lol, but i have some paint chips upfront from rocks ect.. and would just like a change.
