What do think it would cost to paint this car? I was thinking the original red with bronze or black hood, roof, rear spoiler and tail gate. The hatch is just the glass but it has a small tail gate like a truck below the glass. Bronze or black in matte or satin because I want it to match the wheels I get for it. The body is very straight but the clear is peeling in some areas. I don't think the jams need to be painted, they look pretty clean. I was thinking about getting it wrapped. I got a price from $2500 to $3000 depending on what material I go with. But, I would rather get it painted. Everyone is telling me it's not worth painting. But it only has 80k miles, the interior is like new, it runs great and it has some quality mods done to it. Nothing over the top, just sensible stuff. And with a new paint job, it would be perfect. It's a second car, I want to drive it more, but I want it too look good. Your thoughts and opinions would be appreciated.

This picture is about 4 years old and most of the peeling is on the other side. The previous owner parked outside and some asshole was pouring liter sized soft drinks on the roof and the other side every chance he got. So, it just ate up the clear on it. And every time I wash it, more comes off.

Hey,

Shoot me an email or PM! Vinyl is temporary and will always have imperfections, peeling will most likely occur at some point as well. Remember Vinyl will have to be removed over time as it does not last forever. Painting is definitely the right way to go.

Gallardo Repair! Before & After

**Vik @ RDB LA** · 01-10-2012, 04:40 PM

I just want to remind you guys that the pictures we post are the cars WE WORK ON. We have been seeing many companies out there lately that post pictures of cars that they have not even done minor work too.

Also keep in mind we love showing our work, however we can only post half of the work we have completed due to client privacy reasons.

Can anyone guess what car this is?

**Vik @ RDB LA** · 01-31-2012, 03:28 PM

Well here's the big picture of the one above, nobody seemed to want to guess.
