I'd love to have my bird painted HOK Sunset Pearl, do all the jambs and exterior, but leave the engine bay black. No one wants to help me out for under $5k...almoost better off selling the car and trying to buy one pre-painted.
Anyone know a quality place that won't take my 1st born to paint my car? Anywhere in Jersey would be fine, I'm willing to travel. I even thought about going out of state if the quality/price were right.

Ill tell you straight up a lot of shops dont like HOK paints - especially if they're not familiar w/ them.... they'll prolly charge extra just for NOT using there systems. Otherwise, painting a whole car is A LOT of work to do properly - even if your car needs no body work, to repaint a new color requires that every body panel be taken off, shot, cleared, then re-installed, gapped & then rubbed out... the cost of doing it right is completely worth it.
I say $5k-$6k is a pretty good deal - the lowest I've heard is around here $8k
