How much for a paint job??????? What can I expect to pay for a decent paint job???
I have lots of chips and due to a particular incident I don't like to discuss, my hodd and quarter panel don't exactly match the rest of the car.
I'd like to get it painted, but don't have no idea of the cost for a decent paint job. Now the paint don't have to be flawless, just decent.
Thanks

original color without hardly any body work would be around 1500-2k around here, but as you go north so do your costs lol. You should expect to pay at least 2k for a good job where they do the prep work. Unless you have experience prepping a car, you should leave it to the professionals. Maybe if you had a beater to practice on, but its the hardest and most important part of painting cars. Spraying the paint on is easy by comparison.
i went to a body shop around town and got a quote just to get my car repsrayed same color all over, 8 years catching up with the dd, and was quoted 5600...i actually laughed in the guys face and said, thanks but your crazy... so now im just getting a good friend to paint it metallic gunmetal for 250 paint, and 250 labor...

It's possible he was quoted for PPG Omni/Shopline which is still a decent product.
FWIW: Today I ordered just enough bc/cc to respray the rockers and factory fender flares on my Silverado. Came to alittle more than $175, and this is just Valspar.

Well I have to say me and my girlfriend lucked out with her camaro getting painted. Since I work in the bodyshop and detailing bussiness I have a friend that did her whole car black again. Plus did blue pearl to purple pearl faded flames on the nose for 1300 bucks. I just had to spend a weekend block sanding and buffing it. I will try to post pics somtime soon.
What's up with the "just Valspar" and "even Valspar" comments??? Valspar
is damn good quality paint and clear. Hell they're the parent company of House of Kolor and it don't get much better than that. I would be more than happy to spray my car with Valspar products. It's true you get what you pay for in paint, but DuPont and PPG are not necessary for every paint job.
