How much did this paint job cost? I know it was a real and true color conversion, and done the proper way

I did the body kit and everything so I didn't just look at the paint portion but I am guessing around $6k. I lot of places were cheaper but I go to the places that do the Lambo's and high end jobs. I am happy with all their work. A couple places quoted me 10k because they said the paint was so expensive etc. The don't tape they strip the car and paint everything. Careful with the repaint of entire car a lot of shops cut corners to give that cheap price...

$6000 is WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY too cheap, or too good to be true with the amount of labor involved to get the detail you have.
Your shop must really like you, lol

If I ever need a color conversion, I know who to ask now

Thats what I paid probably less maybe cause they put a lot of time in to making the fly 1 fenders fit and the amuse rear gave major problems as well. So maybe $5500 I would have to look at the paint labor on the break down but I know it was more than that...

On another note going to check out the 2014 Cayman S today. If I looooove I leave the Z up for sale. If I dont the Z project moves forward with Supercharger....

Either way a decision will be made today
