I was wondering if anyone would know roughly how much it would cost to get my car repainted. I have not been able to break away from work to get an estimate and by the time I get off they are all closed. I was going to just get the front end done, but now I have decided to go ahead and spend a few extra dollars and get the whole thing done. If you have any idea please let me know. And I know Maaco is not the way to go I want to spend the money and get it done right.

Thanx

 

If you want to get it done right (IE. strip the car) Be ready to pay 3k+

 

I was thinking around there. Its alot but well worth it i think. The front end is all chipped up so I want to get it done soon. Any idea about how long I will be without it and is this somthing you would have a dealer do or private company?

 

I would ask family, friends, and co-workers to see if they have any recomendations. I would go with a reputable private auto body shop (take your time in finding one) and expect your car to be out for maybe 1-2 weeks.

 

Damn. Thats a long time to go without the baby. I'll do some checking and I go on leave next week so I can check more into then as well
Thanx

 

I paint cars for a living and 3k is a rip off around $1,500 is more like it, dont get fooled by body shops trying to rip you off. If you do the body work around $800

 

I got my car painted with a single stage metalic paint(no clear coat) for 800

 

Yeah i have a friend who does body work and paint for a living also and 1500 sounds about right for a decent paint job

 

Earl Schieb Inc.

599.99 for top-of-the line paintjob. Believe it or not they do a decent job for the money.

 

Na they did one if my old car Stage 3 paint job, with a 5 year warrenty, damn thing chips like crazy. They do a careless job
