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. BcB

A do it yourself job can be as cheap as $50, you need a lot of skill to do that. But if you want it professionally done, a simple artwork job costs $500-$15,000 and that is just the artwork. If you want clearcoat protection ect. its costs can skyrocket up to $50,000 for a really good job.

For Example, repaint Honda Civic.

It can cost anywhere from $239 to $10,000 depending on a number of factors.

Quality of paint, clear coat, different colors/details, etc..If you want a decent paint job, one color, with a clear coat, I would guess your looking at anywhere from 500-1000.

Check out Maaco or local paint/autoshops. Call around or Google it.

Good luck

500-1000 for a "nothing special" maaco paint job, 4,000-6,000 for a "as good factory", 15,000-20,000 for "show quality". Really depends on alot of didn't things, For example: Do they need to do body work,dents? How much prep work it needs, is it a Fiat 500 or an "jacked up"excurions, convertible? Type of paint(candy apple for example, metallics, etc are more), # of layers paint layers more cost more, #clear coats$$ My cousin 15yrs ago spend 12G's on a black vette( black is the hardest to look good) had about 5layers of paint and looked like about 10 of clear. You swear you could put your hand it, like liquid/wet.

it all depends on where your from, what color and if there going to blend the hood into the fenders.

typical painters hourly rates are around 48 dollars an hour, so it could be around 300-400
