How much for a paint job?

[tr1kst4nce]

I figured this would be the obvious section to put this thread.

How much on average for a new paint job? Nothing fancy, factory color paint, but I don't want one of those cheap ghetto paint jobs. Something that looks like it came out of the factory so it is still nice.

A couple grand most likely idk about solo painters

you're gonna have to be more descriptive about what u want. a paint job can cost from a couple of dollars to tens of thousands of dollars.

and then there's stuff like the prep work necessary and if applicable the work that needs to be done post-paint.

Ok more specific... how much do you think it would cost to get a paint job that looks like the car just came right off the line. And when I say the line I mean the Mitsubishi line... not the Rolls Royce. How's that? lol

Hmmm... might be cheaper to key the car on every panel and pay the $500 deductible to have the vandalism covered under comprehensive lol.... 3k? geez

wow really? :021:

only if you want to go to jail if you get caught. 3000 might be the high to pain the car the same color. i would say about 2-2500 for the same color and if you want to change the color tack on an extra 500 to a grand. its depends who you go to do your homework. And if you don't want to do you homework try the franchise ones, better than going to jail.

also a job that comes off the factory line is not all that either.
