When I was down at DNA, i got quoted ~250 for the colour coding (not sure if that includes side skirts/plate surround), ~500 with lips, if my memory serves me correctly.
Having said that, $600 does sound a bit rich. Call around some places, perhaps if you know someone else with the same colour car it will cut down the cost.
I think that I will email them and ask. Will let you all know what I find out . . .
I personally cant comment as my car is a fair bit younger than yours although I when I recently removed a badge from the rear there was no difference in the paint where the badge previously was and the rest of the car.
well when i just had my kit fitted on the gen 2 crx, i didnt get full respray cos i gonna mod some exterior parts still, so they just painted the kit, they told me looked like 2 different colours so they cut and polished the stock paint and now all matches perfectly
yeah i got a pic of the back somewhere on my computer, ill see if i can find it, i had it all done, do the number plate surround it looks better.If u dont do it ppl will think u didnt go it coz u couldnt afford it or something lol
mine cost me $300 to do, and it took one full day at a panel beaters...when they first did it the color between the old paint and new paint were the same in sunlight but at night under lights u can tell the difference between the new paint and the old paint
about 2 months after i got the color coding done my dad ran into my car in my driveway so i got the whole outside repainted, looked nicer then...
i miss that car now that i look back at it, but i know the new owner has taken care of it
The good panel shops will grab a painted part of your car (normally the fuel cover) and get it computer analysed. That way you'll get a perfect match... Ask what their process are....
most jobs are just a sand down and spray in color... you should ask them to spray an undercoat/hifill then color...
