    2 tone job

    Alright, I called Midnight Custom Painting for a quote on my 300c. They quoted me a ball park price of $3800-4500. They would paint top black and bottom would be a secret color, LMAO.

    I was contemplating this or just bag the ride. Baggin' seems so much cheaper and I could just put some springs. Not sure what to do.

    This is the color job I described. I'm probably going to go there Monday to make sure we're on the same page.

    Is this your daily driver? For me, between highway chips and door/bumper dings from disrespectful/careless drivers, I would have a hard time sleeping at night having spent that kind of money knowing it is just a matter of time. I have a 70 monte carlo I had painted a few years ago. Not one week I had the car and some careless ****er parked next to my car and left a dime sized chip down to the metal. If I would have seen it happen, I'd be serving time right now.

    My two cents (sorry to be so negative. If it is not your daily driver, then go for it)

    My vote is to go with the paint job. You can bag her later, and for the sound of it you have already picked some good and unique colors.

    Yeah, it's a Semi daily driver. Parking at work isn't bad. Tons of open space and only our shop parks there. It's on a navy base where I know basically everyone. No haters there, well not yet. LOL. I could always drive the wife's car.

    Thanks for the comments.

    I'd vote on that awesome paint job. BUT, when I'm in Oahu in Feb for the ProBowl, I NEED my picture taken with it. PLEASE!!!!
    Actually, I'm hoping there is a M&G when I'm there and I'll have my rental *cough cough* right there too.

    I think I have a new signature for my posts..."I build them and I buy them".

    Obviously, you need to do both.

    Yeah, obviously I'd do both but I'd spread it out a little. The mistress would go haywire. LMAO.
