310_cutty Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 My truck needs NO body work what so ever, i just need to know the price on a full body metallic black paint job for a 2002 Chevy TrailBlazer LTZ. I would say around 2-3 Grand including all materials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreekDesignz Posted November 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 $3000! Damn!! Isnt it just sand paper, primer, paint and physical work? If I trusted my self I'd do it my self. The most I have ever painted (and liked) was a box, bed liner, and a Meyer plow. Other than that I'm in the dark ♠ FreekDesignz Demo Collection ♠ Everything You Need To Know About Car Audio Torres' Box Tuning Calculator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than that I'm in the dark you have no idea. there will be dings. there will be little things you cant really see. when I took my car in for work they were like what about this this and this. things I couldnt even notice. They have to tape off and mask off areas that wont be painted and its not an easy thing.

LT.Smoke Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 Painting a full car is very highly involved....The paint plays a major role in the price as well depending on what kind of colors must be blended to achieve it and as N8 stated there will be lil imperfections they have to fix Team MaxRetribution Si Vis Pacem Parabellum Id rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6 Bowhunting- Life Begins and Ends at Full Draw Bowhunting Team Fatal Trajectory Hunt Team http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/49335-sick96vtecaccords-t-line-build/?hl=sick96vtecaccord << Accord Build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/68498-smokedout08impalas-tline-build/?hl=+sick96vtecaccord << Impala T-line build Rebassed.com for all your music needs 👌 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That 2k-3k could go towards getting a new system. That was all I was saying. ♠ FreekDesignz Demo Collection ♠ Everything You Need To Know About Car Audio Torres' Box Tuning Calculator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melonhead Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 You can take it to a place like Earl Scheib and pay like a G but remember you get what you pay for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquill1 Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 You get what you pay for when it comes to paint. You could go to Maaco and have a car painted for under $1,000 but you'll also be afraid of washing the thing when you get it home. Their paint jobs are a joke.

therattrodder Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 There's a lot to consider. The business has overhead costs, materials, labor etc. Are you planning on going back with the same color? Will you be painting the door jambs, under the hood etc.? Decent paint isn't cheap either. Will it be colorsanded? What type/quality clear will they use? Regardless of what your eye sees, I guarantee you there will be some body filler/icing involved. Tape work is not fun and you will pay for it lol. You gonna have it sprayed with a single stage, base/clear or a tri stage (candy)? I will do a simple job with singlestage or base/clear for around $800.00 but bear in mind that I paint at a friends shop so I have no overhead, and for 800 bucks you get no bodywork and no colorsanding/polishing. If the person I'm painting for wants body work and colorsaning/polishing and jamb work the price automatically doubles. It's just the nature of the beast I guess.

Well I will save up my money, I want to get my rear wiper shaved, the holes from my top rack filled and I want to have a nice smooth roof so after all that I'm proly looking at around $10k for it? ♠ FreekDesignz Demo Collection ♠ Everything You Need To Know About Car Audio Torres' Box Tuning Calculator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
