Hey Josh,

Paint cost will depend on yur creativity or extravagance.

If yur not too particular, you can pick up a spray can at most retail stores that will do the job for six bucks.

For a job with a little more glitz, you can hang out at Earl Shieb and make friends with one of the painters. Offer to buy him a burger and fries off the garbage truck if he'll shoot your spoiler with one of the cars that afternoon, and you might get away clean.

The other end of the scale is the way you would have to go to make the field at the Pebble Beach Concourse D' Elegance...nothing short of stripping the whole car and repainting everything to match. And I'm not talking about a job from Earl's here. Now we're talking about a paint job from the restoration techs at the Petersen Automotive Museum, where you won't be able to tell were the air stops and the surface of the car starts. Ten large should take care of you for a single color.

Trouble with the less expensive plans is color matching. If your car has not faded, you can get paint from the dealer using your color code. But more than a little nail polish size of touch up, will move the price closer to the Pebble Beach plan. From there, it's whatever you can negotiate with someone that has the rite equipment. I predict a minimum one hour flat rate of $40 for the five minutes it will take. Let us know how close I am if you go with this alternative.

Thanks for all the painting info Larry.

The long term plan is to continue to work on mods and what not over the next couple of years......I will probably end up getting another subie or something as daily driver and turn this one into project fun car. At that time or what not I will most likely get it repainted, get all the dings and all that stuff taken out.....so I wouldn't mind splurging for a really good paintjob at that time. But for just the spoiler.....I'm not too concerned. There is a shop not too far from me that did some repair work for a buddy of mine. He said the work was good, there were a couple spots where they could've prepped the surface better, but they did a good job with color matching. Since the spoiler is brand new it should be pretty good to go. Plus he said price was about half as much as some of the other estimates.

Thanks again

Josh
