Paint cost????

My 92 RS paint is ok, but will need to be repainted soon to look new. (lots of swirls and a few small shallow scratches.) It NEEDS to look new again...I refuse to be one of those guys with the beat to death third gen. When they shine like new they are some of the best looking cars on the road.....but when they are neglected....well you have seen them. Anyhow about how much is the average paint job....no rust, dents, or any special needs. Just a quality repaint to factory specs... Purple Haze Metallic

I was quoted 2500 for a repaint no body work. From a private owne body shop not some maaco or something.

mine paint job was $315.00 at maaco haha. Its been on there 4 years, on the plastic, like under the headlights, and a little on the bumper, its starting to crack, but i think i may be the only person who can see it. After i give it a good wash im sure i could still go out and convince people it was painted within the last couple months, looks great.
