Paint Place/ Suggestions

I've been looking for a place to to repaint my 500, but I just can't seem to find the right place. I wanna go from the champagne to all white.

Does anyone know of a paint place in Vegas?

Have any suggestions of what to look for or what to expect with painting? (I've been getting quoted about $2000 each time which is what I've expected.)

Or anything anyone can think of cause vinyl wrapping I just can't go with...haha...

Appreciate it ya...

Never had a MB painted but I paid $400 to paint my roof. $2k just seems cheap to me for the whole car. That's usually what they charge to get a whole car wrapped

2k does sound cheap to me. With paint jobs, prices can swing wildly, but you usually get what you pay for.

hmm...looking at some of their work it looks awesome...but just as a word this won't include the door jams, engine bay, etc....so not exactly factory...just the exterior...don't know if that effects anything

my friend got his m3 painted for 2500 from a place in cali. and it looked great and has been on for years now...

That's an awesome price. If I found anybody around here for that price I would have jumped all over it.

now you guys got me worried...haha...i was thinking 3000 max...i could understand if i was doing the engine bay and if i had dents and dings, but it's just painting the body...they're using a well reviewed paint of Dupont and of course sanding and sanding and sanding...primer, paint, clear...is there a reason why you guys are thinking more?...cause I'm about to hop all over this...haha...

any suggestions?...
