# of layer for body paint

I got a deal for paint full kit of Rieger E92 for $1000 (including installation). It's a 2 layer of OEM paint+ 1 layer of clear coat. Is this a good deal?
Thx.

I have a 94 supra TT, and I use to live in n.y and I've order a body kits from japan. and I got painted in shop that they mostly paint ferrarri, bmw, benz. like high end exotic cars. and I have only 5 pieces kits and they charge me fortune. I think you got a good deal. good luck

theres no such thing as oem paint. you can call the dealer and ask. body shops use 3 kind of paint, glassurit, dupont and ppg. this kit take alot of modifying to make it fit properly. so for 1k, i think its a great deal.

edit: 2 layers? i dont think that enough.

then it's not a good deal.. he offer me $1k for only 2 layer of paint, and I didn't know how the result is going to be..
do you offer any paint job or something like that? I heard you sold M-tech body kit.

i think he means 2 stage paint
meaning base coat and clear coat
i dont think only 2 coats paint and 1 coat clear
if that is the case your paint will peel in a month or so
usually i put down atleast 4 coats of base(depending on the color)
than i apply 4 coats of top grade clear coat
