Color change

[Jolly Roger VX'er]

So how much does a paint job cost usually? I figure around 3g's for a good one but that is an ignorant guess since all I’ve ever heard of is Macco for like 200. I REALY want an ebony. My next concern would be finding a really good shop that would screw up the cladding.

Keep in mind I'm basically talking out my butt because I can’t afford to pay bills little lone get a paint job. All hypothetical.

I've always wondered that if you do a complete color change....wouldn't you want to change the color of the engine bay (ie firewall, fender wells, under hood, etc..), inner door & rockers, and what about inner fenders and behind cladding????? Now that's gotta be 'spensive! Plus, to do a really good job wouldn't you want to remove the engine and some other key underhood components too? Looking at my engine compartment I see alot of things in the way of repainting the firewall in particular.

My guess is that some orignal colors would be better to repaint than others...like an ebony would be okay to leave the engine compartment & stuff black as it is probably less clashing than say my white ironman would be.
