It's exterior color is a very light blue/green almost mint color (you probably know what i mean) I was woundering if it was possible to repaint the car a different color BY MYSELF? If I took my time and got the tools/materials I need. What materials would I need?
-OR-
If you think i should just have it painted by a professional, how much do you think it would cost, on average?
By the time you buy all the tools, compressor, good gun, moisture separator, prep the old paint, find a location that is clean, and safe to paint in...
Forget it, let a pro do it. I've actually had a few good repairs done at Maaco. They have a lot of different price levels, but you get what you pay for. They or any body shop will give you a free quote.
Also, if you change colors, it will cost a LOT more to have all the inside areas done, doors, under hood, under trunk, etc.
Check local shops and get references.
