Nowhere. A grand and decent paint job don't really go together...

prep the car your self it wont take that long there are threads on honda tech about it and then take it to macco and the paint job will actually turn out really nice so i've been told!

My dad might be able to paint it for a grand but that's not going to include any jams or engine bay. I doubt he would remove any glass or the bumpers for that price either.
PM me with more info on your car and existing/new colors if you're interested.

You can find people who go to school for auto painting, and take it to them. Its like a 60% chance it will be 100% good, kinda like macco. With paint you really do get what you pay for. If you are trying to save some money look into some single stage paint.

$425 after tax, almost 2 years after the paint job:

If that's a Maaco paint job, it doesn't look bad at all. If you spent $425, and they did that good of a job, would paying more get better prep along with a quality paint?
