Prices of paint and stuff seemed to have gone really up in price in just a year. Like the previous person said between $2000 and up. I paid $1500 for my flame job back in 2002 and he was cheaper then most. Now just to paint my hatch I got a price of $500 but luckily a guy who does the detailing for all the salespeople at work is doing it for $300. When I had my driver's side door reflamed because of someone keying it last April it cost $500 for just that! He charged $75 for custom work

id expect 3000 for a custom paint. it all depends on what is done.

if ur just doin the outside with some flames itll be cheaper then doin outside/flames/door jams/etc

best thing is to go around a find a good shop and talk to them..
