Message	A good paintjob takes A LOT of work. That means they take off EVERY single part on the car, all the trim, the doorhandles, the antenna, the bumpers are removed, and then they prep the paint, and fix any imperfections, stratches, dings, and dents properly. That takes a long time, and gives you a quality of paintjob that no 2-3k could get you. A car such as as 300zx deserves nothing less than 4k. -Daniel Busbin 93' Silver NA Currently Own: 1993 Silver 300ZX NA Stage 1+ 1986 Toyota 4runner turbo 4x4
