My Ride: No mods
Thumbs down

I got this off another forum. I feel bad for the guy who owns the 350z.

Just a warning to forum members on cheap paint jobs! $250 for a full kit paint job


Here is a pic of the paint guy painting the car: :thumbsdown: LOL.... he's getting high off the paint (NO MASK!)

For those that remember Earl Shrieb's old commercials... "I'll paint any car for $99..99". As a kid, I always thought that was an amazing deal. Hahahahahaha!
