You can get a paint job that cost a few hundred at Macco, or a few thousand at a bodyshop with some of the best paint.

Do Not PM me your technical questions. Post them in the forum!

- Thu Apr 01, 2010 7:42 pm #184998 look at the cars they have painted or ask your friends if they know a shop

- Thu Apr 01, 2010 8:29 pm #185011 Depending on alot of things it could range from $50-Thousands. Don't get single stage paint from anywhere (its when they mix clear coat and the paint) its shit. The prep work is key to a good paint job.

Definitely.
Also remember you get what you pay for, yeah one place might be cheaper then the one across the street but will they spend more time on it to make sure everything is done right or will they just scuff it and throw paint on and send you down the road. It doesn't have to be show car perfect but you don't want to spend the money on it and have you need another paint job in a year or 2 because you cheaped out now.

To save yourself some time and money, you could go to the parts store and prep the car yourself for paint then bring it in and say "just wipe it down and she is ready". Prep is what really costs you money and effects the overall outcome (minus the paint itself)

The price doesn't always reflect the outcome/quality either. Check the place out, read reviews(if there are any), ask to see samples of cars they've recently painted.
