It is all going to depend on who you have do it and what amount of work has to be done to your car to get it like it needs to be. If your existing paint job is in fairly good condition and no body work needs to be done a good basecoat clearcoat paint job will run you at least $1200. Material alone is $600-$700 minimum. Good luck.

being black is probably gona cost you a little more considering the buff time to come with it, unless it is sprayed in a good good booth!!! But id say your looking at a all over f-body paint job no body work just slight base and a good clear coat about 2500 honestly....

Pretty much what these guys have said. Are you repainting all your door jambs and such? Or just spraying the outside? Id look to spend at least $1500 min.

myshop you would be looking high2k to mid 3k just cause of the color and if your repainting out side y not do door jambs? plus depending on quality of paint and clear like said before your between 500-1000. you have to add in R&I prep sand and buff and any body that may need done

I've looked all over San Diego, and I've found places from $500 (barely acceptable paint used) to $4500 (showcar quality)

The old saying "You get what you pay for" couldn't be more true when it comes to auto painting.

shop i work at would charge u 4000 for everything. but if u want a pearl black paint its alot more. u dont need to buff a car if u have good downdraft booth. also shop would have to R&I the door handles, mirrors, bumpers, and bodykits. prep, sand. then again i work at the best dealership around. sikkens is the best paint and its like $500 a quart and ull need 2 of them. and clearcoats are $500.
