hey i was just curious as to what it cost to get a reall good paint job done, inside of the doors, engine bay, the whole works. i was checking into maaco but i saw another thread on here and people were saying that they suck. thanks

MESS

you get what you pay for of course...... i spent 4200.00 on my 70 camaro, but that was with minor body work also

i would say 2000.00 to 2500.00 for paint only on a fbody that will last

i paint at my dads shop and we are doing an srt8 jeep right now, factory black and we are respraing the jams, and then the rest of the jeep with a SEM lime green i have to say your thinking.... lime green wtf, but it looks so sick and amazing, we did jams and entire car for 2800 and thats coming out lookin like glass, doing the jams and all however we did have the car for 2 weeks, lots of disassembling and reassembling involved

and this is basically a factory job when its done? cause if i spend the money to get a car painted i want a factory paint job look when its done, and i want it to last like a factory job. thanks

wow, 10 grand, you guys must not make too much money out there, paint alone for a complete including jams you can get for $1000, and thats sikkens paint, ppg, or dupont, now if you want house of colors or SEM i can see somewhere around 7-8 grand but i am in the process of doing an 06 srt8 sem lime green jams and all we bought the paint and we charged 3700, and it will look factory upon completion, we do probably 3-4 custom jobs a month , make plenty of profit i honestly cant see someone gettin charged 10 grand and actually bringing there car there

thats what i was thinking, $10k seems alittle excessive.

well, first we are not a custom shop... we are DRP so we dont really do full paints ever... iv been at this place for 9 months and weve done 2 full paints in that time... that said... what is your hourly labor rate there and how much is an experienced tech paid and such because this stuff all changes with regional location... im guesing on this jeep to eliminate door jam lines you are painting the doors, hood, tailgate and such off the car??
