damm ! thats a great deal.going to get some estimates soon.after katrina everything skyrockted around new orleans,and i don't even live there but stuff went up anywhere close.thanks man.appreciate it.
id say about 3000-4000 for doing what you want to do including the paint and body work. i know at the shop i was at for a camaro it was about 8000 to do the entire car.
To repaint my Chevelle in 1987 it was $4,000 . . . To redo my Camaro in 2002 it was $8,000 . . .
This is in IL, and included complete jamb work, and both cars were 100% color changes.

I would say between about 4000 or 5000 for a good job. Thats with using dupont or ppg, fixing dents and chips and sanding and buffing afterwards. Thats what I would charge if I was doing it but I do this myself at home. Body shops usually charge around $45-$50 an hour on their work and a lot of shops would rather not touch an all over job because they can turn over $$$ quicker on insurance wrecks. At least thats how it was where I used to work at the dodge dealership. Just check around though. I hope you find someone that doesn't rip you off.

I am trying to start a automotive painting business as we speak.... Pm me and maybe we could work something out. I might be able to work out transportation Also.....It may be worth it for you.
Maaco seems to be hit or miss. I've dealt with the same store for 3 vehicles- my sister's ex had his Grand Am painted there, I had my truck painted there, and a buddy got his Focus done there. All 3 came out beautiful and are still looking good (granted I haven't seen the Grand Am in over a year). Then I know a guy at school who had his done at another Maaco and within 6 months the clear coat was terrible.
It all depends on where you go; some guys feel they are better so they charge and arm & a leg, while others who may be just as good could charge half that. I would ask around where you live and see who is overall satisfied with the work they got. A decent estimate that is reasonable would be $2000-$3000 depending on the prep involved with body flaws.
so where would be the best or atleast a pretyt damn good paint shop in georiga near Ft.Stewart/ anybody?
