Default How much for a Hugger Orange paint job?

How much you guys think it would cost for a good quality Hugger Orange paint job??? Is it hard to find places that can produce the color?
Just thought I'd ask, thinking about trading in the TA for a Camaro and having it painted Hugger Orange.
I'll probably end up keeping the TA though, just trying to get an idea on costs.
Thanks guys!

$3,000++ but it depends on how far you mean? Like engine compartment, doors, trunk, underbody etc...

If you are changing the color of a car, you HAVE to paint under the hood. If not, it will be horribly embarrassing when you open it up.

Those minor things are the difference between your car looking good, or looking ******* awsome, the choice is up to you, and with paint, you get what you pay for.

Personally I like the look of a black engine compartment.

If the car is black, that is one thing, but if it is any other color, the WHOLE car needs to be painted.

I guess black would go alright for the engine compartment, but NOT for the door jams and t-top surrounds..

Probably at least $5K for a good paint job, unless you can do all the stripping and prep work yourself. That means removing all emblems, rubber seals and weather stripping, lights, etc... and doing masking yourself.

Yea, the black engine bay is definitely cool and very retro. That's what I'll be doing when I get my repaint, but then again, I already have a black bay.

I think the t-tops surrounds look like **** if they are not black
