1 grand is way to cheap, think more like 4k and up. When i was getting price quotes for my crxthe cheapest i could find was 2k and that was by my friends dad...and look at how small the crx is. But if u do find a place that will do it for 1k just expect a 1k paint job (in other words a ***** paint job)
But i know what you mean, i have 2 bad dents (to me anyway) and a couple of dings on my car that i want to get rid of. I just dont want to be those ppl that go to the store and park their car at an angle...in the middle of the parking lot , pisses me off and prolly makes it a target to ppl that like to ruin cars

 

yes, but doesnt the CRX have a bunch of nooks and crannies that need to be painted? and the rear end is basically all glass, and isn't a CRX 2-tone?

 

it all depends on what you want done to it mine is a one tone, the side strips and stuff can be removed. they may not be as smooth as a neon but in short, (assumingits a straight forward paint job) the crx is a smaller car +less masterial + less work= cheaper price. (mine is an 87 si the 88 and up have a smoother body)

 

ohh, ok

i wonder if it will be cheaper for me to find some body panels that are decent at a junkyard, and just use those....

 

too bad you aint in florida my best friend dad owns a mini body shop, and he price quoted my nissan hb for 700 dollars with candy paint and flakes in it, but if you go to them high class body shop they charge you from 3500 to 7k honestly..check out the body work on my friends civic..

try macco or econo auto body shop for cheap paint

 

The cheapest your going to find is probably around $1,000-$1,500, but thats for MAACO which has some of the poorest quality around...a descent (basic OEM) paint job that will last a long time will probably cost a good $2,500-$3,500...
