This is for collectors, show cars, or people who hate savings accounts. You are not just painting a car. You are creating art.
Every panel is removed. Every dent is metal-worked by hand. The paint is mixed with unicorn dust (or maybe just really expensive pigments).
They'll spray multiple coats. Then sand it. Then spray again. Then buff it to a mirror shine. It's more layers than a wedding cake.
The Absurd Detail
A high-end paint job can cost more than the car itself. A 1995 Honda Civic with a $20,000 paint job? That's a billionaire's joke.
Some paints use actual crushed pearls for shimmer. Or real gold flakes. You could literally drive a jewelry box. Try not to ding it.
