Default Custom Paint info

Anybody know how much it would cost me to get my car painted grabber blue? Just an estimate. I'm trying to decide between that or a brushed stainless steel vinyl wrap

professionally? 6-10k+ especially if you're doing engine bay+jambs
and no you cannot sand it yourself and give it to the shop because then when the paint comes out with a bunch of fisheyes and flaws they dont want to be responsible because they didnt prep it

You might get some small shop to do it cheap but someone who's going to do it right it'll easily be 6-10k like said above. The car has to come apart.

I like that color though

As far as I know blue is a cheaper color than others but I'd still expect to spend 8k minimum if you want something that looks good and lasts a long time.
