(2010-05-30 13:44:26) 1. Says: Well honestly, there really is no Idea. Because 1.) It depends on how badly, the car is in NEED of the paint for one. 2.) It ALSO depends on how much Auto Body Paint runs for these days, my dad tried to get his 84' Model Custom Deluxe blue chevy painted, and they wouldn't paint it because Auto Body paint is so high right now. So you might be in the same position, but I'm not sure.2. Says: time plus prep plus paint sand papper and tax time pluse parts and primer and clear coatcoast will reflect the color chose and the quality of workman ship just becast the butom line is less dont mean any better call around and ask your freids if you tryly have them check better busness burrow for complants and shop around more dont mean better ether for if it isnt quality first over produtivety then you might as well by a ratl can and start spraying away good luck and best wishies3. Says: well honestly it all depends like the others said but hopefully this helps you out.......Auto painting prices vary a great deal depending on the quality of the job, the type of car and the amount of additional bodywork.
Typical costs:
* MAACO is a national low-cost chain that can often paint a car for between $250-$400.
* Middle of the road auto body shops often will quote prices between $1,000 and $2,000, depending on the amount of work.
* Custom body shops can charge $4,000 to $8,000 if it involves removing many parts, changing the color of the car, detailing the engine, rebuilding mechanical parts, chrome plating, etc.
* Tip: Be sure to ask about a shop's warranty. Bad paint jobs are notorious for lasting less than three years. Warranties can run five years. A place like MAACO might offer a six month warranty against peeling.
Additional costs:
* There are many possible upgrades. Even at a discount shop such as MAACO, some customers will choose to upgrade the paint to a higher-quality one. Customers may also choose additional layers of paint (more than two) or a layer of clear coat.
* When cars are repainted, sometimes they need body repairs beforehand. Small repair jobs (dents, etc.) can run $200-$500.
Discounts:
* Some body or auto painting shops will offer a discount of a few hundred dollars if the customer sands the car and removes or masks parts that aren't going to be painted. This reduces the preparation work (and labor costs) for the shop.
* Be sure to shop around and compare quotes. Prices and quality can vary even within the same chain, such as MAACO.
* Tip: Many customers recommended visiting and reviewing a body shop. Ask to look for a recently painted car and see if it was well done. Larger businesses may have a record at the Better Business Bureau. There should be a work area where the bodywork is done, and a paint booth. If it's not in use, you can ask to inspect the paint booth to see whether it is relatively clean and dust-free.
