thinkin about getting my car painted sunset orange metallic, or a dark red metallic. The 10 year old LT1 paint is in terrible need of a new coat.

How much would it cost, ballpark, to have the entire car repainted? I really know little to nothing about body work, so I'm a pretty big at this stuff.

Other than that, what colors would you guys recommend? I really love SOM though

Between $4,000 to $10,000. Depends on quality. Level of detail. Just surfaces, or Jambs too. Is the car painted whole or in peices . . .

Sounds about right Xsta. Guy I used to work with got his Z painted for like 5200, and that was including engine bay, and some other body tweeks (new hood, SS spoiler and so on).
