$$ Candy Paint job $$

[YUKISM]

Lately I've been thinking about getting a candy color paint job done.For some reason in my neck of the woods they like RAPING your pockets when it comes to things like this.I was wondering if anyone that has experience in car painting could shoot me a GUESStimate as to what the most is I should pay for a GOOD candy paint job.The truck is a 02' Yukon 4 dr.,current color is pewter(Beige),there are no dents or dings so no body work would be needed,and I'd be doing either a candy black,candy DARK blue,or candy DARK purple.

Thanks!!!

Here's the thing about candy. It's labor intensive. It's not like shooting base coat and then laying down 2-3 coats of clear. You've got your basecoat, your midcoat and then your clear. As for what you should pay are you talking in terms of just labor or you talking primer, sealer, paint and clear or just paint supplies or just labor? I sell paint and troubleshoot for body shops, paint myself, do custom color matching/blending. Just need a lil more info dude on what it is you're pricing. Also, what brand of paint you shooting for?

Shit Bro, with prices like that your Are a person of interest in my PRESENT,LOL!!

The prices I'm looking for is like if I was to go to a shop and just ask them for a candy paint job,so I guess I'm talking labor,sealer,primer,clear,etc.

That's you. I imagine you don't have a shop that you paint at?

So you don't have the overhead a shop would have like paying employees, rent, electric, water, keeping paints and chemicals in stock, advertising, etc.

A decent candy job will cost you upwards of $6,000 IMO.

Maybe some other places charge less because of more competition, but around here there aren't to many places to go.
