paint job cost? I have a 2000 Z28 with the navy blue metallic paint job. Through the years I have encountered numerous rock chips and other typical crap. In addition both of my Z28 emblems were stolen too. Besides the rock chips a few years ago I jacked the car up improperly and flared out my right front quarter panel by an inch. Does anyone know of a good paint body shop in the Houston, TX area that can redo a "good" factory paint job, and how much of a ballpark figure of cost are we talking about here?
Guys I'm talking about a bumper to bumper entire car paint job.

kind of depends, most higher end shops wont touch a base/clear job for less than $3-4k
Now a production shop, like where i work, we do base/clear jobs starting @ $1800. Another route is instead of goin base/clear u can go with a urethane single stage paint with a top coat clear at about half the cost. The main difference is that the single stage paints are usualy a little darker. But u still get the benefits of the base/clear paint job.
And thats with out body work.

if you are going to do a solid color a single stage with clear over it you will be better off you will get a better color coverage and with the clear you will get the uv protection you need . you can color sand the single stage color and make it real flat.this is only on solid colors. i would use a good urethane single stage and clear.
thank you
