i have no doubt that those $30,000 paint jobs are worth every penny. but you are talking about show quality painting, with an attention to detail, prep, and post work that is just flat out unnecessary and not noticeable when it comes to your average daily driver.
you do get what you pay for, however what you pay for with a 500-1500 dollar paint job is not as bas some of you paint snobs are making it out to be.

Snobs? Get over yourself. The bottom line is that a lasting paint job on a clean, non-dinged up Yaris is going to cost atleast $2,000. I am just telling it how it is. Maybe you live out in village somewhere but I have never heard of anything as obscene as a $500 paint job. Unless you have some illegal aliens working for $2/hour you would be LOSING money doing a full paint job for that price.
