dwright27 Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 ok so my dad has some air guns, like the ones painters have, and he has 3 water seperators on his air line hooked to his compressor. and when i get the my truck this coming monday hopefully, i wanna re-paint it. thinking some kind of color changing paint or a sharp ass silver metallic fogged in blue or something.. so how much would a shop charge to do it? i know mako is pretty cheap but i want something different then mako.

fourlug Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 I'm not one to doubt but if you gotta ask these question and have little knowledge of body work and paint I wouldn't even attempt to do color changing paint. As far as cost for a paint job around here one like your describing with proper prep it'd cost at least 7k.. probably 15,000. But it depends where you live, call around?

sean 371 Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 For a basic paint job, youre looking at $400 in paint just to do it yourself. Nice paint is expensive!

talentfinder36 Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 If you do your own body work and buy your own paint it will reduce the cost alot. Average paint jobs are $2,000-$5,000. Quote Mark 99 Eclipse Spyder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBDRAGGUY Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 If you do your own body work and buy your own paint it will reduce the cost alot. Average paint jobs are $2,000-$5,000. My last one I did myself was $700 in materials. I am in the middle of painting my Tahoe and it looks like it will run about the same. Body and prep work is everything. You can hire the greatest painter in the world,if he he is shooting over shoddy prep work then you will get shoddy results. There is so many things to learn before taking on a job like this. Even if you are dealing with a new car,safely removing trim can be a challenge if you dont know what you are doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
