Painting My Car

[xcmorgan50]

Ok so after i get all the body panels back on my car and have it looking almost new again, i want to repaint it the same color which is i believe called Delphin Gray Metallic. What should i expect to pay for a job like this? I have minimal rust btw

It all depends on where you go. Your best bet is just to go to a few body shops. Anywhere from 600 dollars to 4 grand...

A good paint job with oem quality paint from a not macco-like shop will be in the 1500-2500 range

How much for maaco-like job, not super cheap but with a clear coat at least, not necessarily OEM paint?

maaco does two stage jobs, but ive heard a lot of horror stories come outta there... i would suggest shopping around before you settle

You will get what you pay for. You buy a $399 Maaco Presidential paint job, your paint will look like an orange with herpes and will be falling off in 6 months. You go to a reputable body shop like the one I work for and pay anywhere from $2k-$6k depending on how much work you want done, you will have a paint job that looks like glass and stay on the car for many years. Any questions about anything pm me.

maaco: do the prep work yourself. its the best way. give em a sanded, bondo'd cleaned and degreased car...you might as well tape up certain things becuase they will most likely overspray every fuken where. i'll get mine done soon enough.
