My friend came to me asking me for an estimate on a nighthawk black paint job for her 96 Civic Coupe, but I don't know much about paint, so I was wondering how much it would be for solid and metallic.
Maybe its the metal flake ?? Or more reasonable its because paint selling is a sellers market. you cant exactally make your own paint, so the paint companies can charge what ever they want if they have a reputation for having good paint (ppg, dupont, HOK). MAybe im wrong, perhaps theres gold, platinum or rhodium in pearl paint.....ultimatebravo said:I've always wondered, whats in paint that makes it so damn expensive?
its the goverment that makes it so expensive. Enviroement people, osha etc etc. theres laws makes it hard for quality paint to be made and used. the price the paint company has to pay trickels down to the customer.99teggsr said:Maybe its the metal flake ??
