I don't think you could find a decent full out repaint for under 4-5k. Less, obviously, for just an exterior respray.

I don't understand why people ask such general questions...How the heck are we able to help you out?

sorry .. I picked up my sc a few months back to work on as a hobby on the side, and I'm still working on all the maintainance items (bushings, springs, brakes, blah, blah) before I start getting to the appearance mods.
Since this thread came up, I thought I would throw out a general side question and get some what of an idea of how much to budget for when I get around to this. But to be more specific, I'm just going to replace the front and rear bumper, as well as side skirts myself. Then just get the outside of the whole car spray painted one color. Not removing the engine, or door jams, etc etc. Not looking for custom paint, graphics or two tone.
thanks

repainted my car twice this year.... terrible thing.... first was a black with metallic flakes and now it's just the regular black onyx due to a mishap (mom reversed into me with the pathfinder). I do sort of miss the flakes though
Another thing you didn't specify was the color. You said an OEM color, but are you looking for the color that came on the car? You can always paint it another OEM color, which is what I'm leaning towards.

Contrary to Xotic's **** post, I think its safe to say a general number is $2k+ for exterior, $4k+ for the whole deal, wherever you're located etc. (More exact numbers depending on all kinds of factors.) But also, as Xotic cited, check your yellow pages.
