I had my car repainted half a year ago so I can chime in here. A good paintjob will run between 2800-5000. You pay for what you get, remember that.

mine was $2,500 with warrenty for 5 years.

Xeeeeeem

WAs it 2500-5000 just for the pain job? Does that cost include fixin all the dings, bumps, dents, rust spots?

I just paid $3300, that included all the body work, but no color change, or kit, that's another 1-2 K

Yep, for a about 2,500 you'll drive out happy for about about 5,000 you'll drive out happier but w/ a massive hole in your pocket! hehe!

Although you need to keep in mind that quality starts w/ the body work, then experience
and talent of the painter. If you just refuse to pay that much, take this advice cheap paint materials but a good painter can make the job look like a million bucks!

When you plan on getting a complete paint job the body work has to be perfect. Next, you need to decide color, always try to go with the same color. It will cost you lots more if you want to change it. Extra work means more money. Keepin it the same color means saving $$ on RI work also!

You can never go wrong w/ a good painter and PPG's paint and clear coats.

PPG has a lifetime guaranty, do your research hopfully you wont have to spend more than you have to.

I thought a color change would be alot more expensive.(for a superb Job) tats why i didnt do it. my paint is lighter than it was a white that had a beige hinge to it, now its white with Pearl Flakes. and changed the bottom to silver to match my rims.
