How much does it cost to get a paint job on a car?

In: Cars & Vehicles, Paint Jobs [Edit categories]

Answer:

That depends on what you're looking for in a paint job and what condition the vehicle body is in.

Last summer ('07), I painted my Service Truck. I did 100% of all of it, including the body work which had considerable amounts of rust and needed panels welded in. The total came to just over $400.00. I used a single color, single stage paint.

In '05 I had my Firebird painted by a 'pro' shop. Multi-colored and clear-coated with some extras added for a more intense pearl effect. They also did all of the body work. Total price: $4300.00.

Make sure you get at least 3 estimates if you're going the pro route. My 3 varied by more than $1000.00!

If you do it yourself, get a book that describes everything you'll need first. There's a lot equipment to buy before you can 'shoot your own'.

Hope this helps.
