Flat Black is very difficult to maintenance. Just see it and scratch.

Why don't you just take your car to an auto paint shop and get a quote? The prices will differ greatly all over the US, and even more so in Puerto Rico.

Someone posted pics of a beautiful maroon Yaris on here, I don't know if that was a factory color but it sure caught my eye!

But the green you posted is too reminiscent of the low riders we have here in SA...

that's an expensive job in the states.

there was a lexus in jersey painted a lighter color with all the metal flake and stuff...pearl...candy apple green i think it was...any way, he said is ES300 paint job was over 10,000. the paint alone was over 3, and he had very little body work. i will say one thing, there is a difference in price from a full paint color change to just the outside. his engine bay, and even interior was stripped, cleaned, sanded, primered, painted, polished and clear coated. thats a lot of $$ pulling a car to just the bare metal, and all that sanding...ugh...

any way, for just a carpet pull-back and exterior color, i'll bet you were wishing you bought a black car so the engine bay would be black...at least.

if you can get the paint, and do the sanding and prep work yourself, take it to maaco. the only reason their name sucks is because people just bring in a dirty car, they spray it to make it look good, and of course it doesnt because u got dirt/grime/low/high spots in it. so if you can do the majority of the work, and get the paints you want, maaco will do it for around 700 bux.

That green would look so awesome. You have no idea, or maybe you do.

If you want a candy paintjob that looks like that you are going to have to pay as much as the car is worth :laugh:
