The paint job cost roughly $2500 with some of the body work involved.

Insurance paid for part of it, as my car was broken into and backed into at a parking lot within a matter of days. No major damage, just a dented up fender and I needed a new door handle, stereo and the door was a bit dented due to the break-in. Insurance covered about $1200 worth of it and I came up with the rest.

Without the slight bodywork involved, it probably would of been about $2000.

They did a great job, they removed tiny dings in the hood, all door dings, and any dent no matter how small


The shop is Law Brothers in Huron, OH (1 hr. west of cleveland). I hate to sound like im adding a cheap plug for them, but they do great work and their number is 419-433-7800. Tell them Scott Meyer sent you.

Heres a pic of the car in-progress at their shop

I tried filtering out the red color in paint shop pro (i need PS) in order to get a similar look to a black car and got a very cool effect, and a similar look to bingoboy (and others who have clean, black cars)
