Not sure what section of the forum this should go in but, I'm buying a black widow kit for my 95 civic 2 door and i'll need a paint job. I know I could drive around and ask places but I was wondering what a decent paint job will cost, just black on the entire car after i put the kit on. I'm not talking top of the line but i don't want crap either. An estimate from you guys would be great. Thanks.

yes, maaco is known as "splash jobs". They don't paint the jams, engine bay, underneath of hood, etc. I don't even think they remove lights. They just tape off stuff very crapily and fly at her. I think at some places they might not even sand off the old paint!
