Hi,
I have a couple of scrapes and nicks on my 97 TJ. I have been thinking of getting it repainted. The first quote for the left front fender, left door and minor grill area was for $350. They also quoted me $1250.00 for the whole jeep. With that thought, it is a jeep. I purchased the Jeep from the
1st owner in private sale. The original color was White and the 1st owner had it repainted dark green (metallic), no code number for the new paint. I have done plenty of bumpers, and under parts with spray cans with black paint.Looking at the cost of compressors, spray nozzles, and car port canopies... I figure I could buy a new compressor (4 hp with at least a 8 gallons reserve, 120psi), air regulator/filter, a ¼ in hose, air spray gun, a small portable canopy with 3mil plastic all around, spray mask, and paint for less than $350.
I have a couple of questions:
- Where do I find local (Houston, TX) company that matches and sells paint for autos?
- Am I crazy for thinking I can do this, any thoughts?
Thanks,
