Did you read read through the entire thing? That is the walking price. By the time you are done you would be painting your car for what i said originally. Painting a truck is damn near 5k.

It is as clear as daylight:
BASIC #MAACOVER : $399
Paint service description:

So when you buy a "danfo", you will pay for a basic package. Do you understand what that means? That is basically to re coat your vehicle which is why i said it would cost more to do it in the states. Everybody know that anything "basic" is to get you into the door. By the time you are done you'll be paying exactly what i said. It cost me two thousand five hundred just to change from standard white to red.

Oga - all the other prices are there ..... the next package is $599 and then $1K.
The premium package in $2K. Why you would do that for a "danfo" is beyond me ..... rather you spend that in the ride you and your madam will cruise in

All i can tell you is what i know from experience. And from experience to change from one car color to another in the U.S to will cost you that amount and based on reviews i see they have really poor ones. Anyway, you get what you pay for. So, if it it the usual shoddy standards you are looking for then go ahead. Sometimes i keep forgetting i am in a discourse with Nigerians. I was referring to quality work which i am used to. I can buy paint and a spray can and do it by myself, but will i get get the same quality?

And since we are googling and not going from personal experience, i might as well use the internet as well.

We are talking about a danfo here. What would be the sense in spending more then $1K on the paint job. Maaco's paint job is plenty fine for this use and it does not cost more than a grand.
Why would you spend more then 1K on a commercial vehicle? Does not make much business sense.

Which is why I said based on your being used to low quality you can go that route. Other normal countries have a standard. Be it a cab or otherwise.

I didn't. You know why? Because everyone I know would not paint their vehicles for less than the amount i stated because you would have to repaint it again in another year and the vehicle would look like crap. Penny wise pound foolish. Google is not always your friend. Sometimes personal experience is a lot better.

Now you are just ranting. If I was on food stamps would I be able to afford your 300 dollar paint job? The simple fact is you are used to low quality so your first instinct would be to go for anything sub standard. I understand. And why would I not be condescending when you will do anything to avoid quality? Lol...

This is a mommymobile Volkswagen shiity car. People hated this thing so much that I even began to think, maybe it was a crime for the manufacturers of this shiity thing to have created it in the first place. There was even some serious debate about this thing back then in 2006. Anyway the usually come in different colours and shapes. Very disgusting piece of crap. Funny, this thing reminded me of the Chrysler/vw partnership.
