Skip the paint, and do this instead:

Seriously. Throw on a set of cheap, black ralleye wheels and you'd have the most ratted out car in a thousand miles. Besides the awesome looks, the vinyl will also absorb small dings and nicks.

Just checked this out. That would look fucking awesome on my car, but I have had this thing for almost 6 years... and it has only been running for a total of 1 year throughout that period. So I don't have the patience to keep messing with it myself. It needed a paint job when I got it (a bra would have covered it).

Then when I had it running one time my boss backed into me (hence the need for door and fender on passenger side). I had just got it running and started working for the guy so I didn't have insurance... I ended up just giving him my last paycheck to pay for his damage and took mine with a grain of salt to avoid the hassle.

Thing is, a good paintjob costs a lot of money. If you're thinking Maaco, then think again, because chimps paint their poo on a wall better than a typical Maaco employee.

That's why I suggested the vinyl thing. So, you'll lose a couple weeks; but then it's a job you've done yourself. Unless it's a really good paint shop, expect subpar materials, and workmanship. If you do decide to go the paint route, do ALL the taping yourself, because the employees don't give a shit about your car, and not care if they spray parts that shouldn't be painted.

All good "jobs" cost a lot of money...
