Re: Paint job $

A GOOD quality repaint will be $3000+. You can find a cheaper repaint but the results will show it. It really depends on how good of a job you expect, on how much it will cost. If you just want shiny and one color, you can probably find a $2000 repaint. If you are like me and you don't want to see any sanding scratches, dirt, or fisheyes, and want the car painted w/ all the trim removed and then reassembled and buffed, you can easily exceed $5000+ on just a straight up repaint, with no body work.

Re: Paint job $

The paint jobs we do at our shop run from 3K and go up from there. Here's where the term ...."you get what you pay for" really plays outthere's a huge difference in a quality job and a cheap job. Seach around ask locals with nice looking cars where the got thiers done ect.. take your time find a good place.
