Repainting entire car?

[bitchinRS]

Has anyone had their entire car repainted? What did you pay? Just trying to get an idea.

I was wondering the same thing

About $200 for one toner and some sealer [img]smile.gif[/img]

Of course, thats because I work at a bodyshop and I painted it myself.

If you want a quality job (not MAACO), then expect to pay over $2500 (not MAACO). A good reputable place (not MAACO) will sand the whole car down properly, and do the job right the first time (not...ya know).

Oh, and don't go to MAACO, they suk!

around here, maaco is more expensive then most other places.

I agree! MAACO sucks!! Try somewhere local, a 'mom and pop shop' type of thing.

Oh, and Seth ... if you're interested, I know of a really really good body shop ...

i paid a little over 2000 and they did an awsome job, it was a mom and pop kinda place but they do a lot of custom stuff. gave me 4 or 5 layers of clear for free too

theres a real good body shop around where i live that quoted my cousin $1500 to do some bodywork, install and paint a saleen body kit, and repaint the entire car. on his GT
he pulled some strings tho

honestly... I see all over the net people ***** about Maaco.

I had my '85 painted at Maaco, I saw the paint like 2 months ago.(like 5 years after it was painted) Paint is still great quality, nicer then about 90% of any stock paint jobs I have seen and only cost me about $400 or something, was a deal on like a $800 job.

Guy completely rebuilt the car and shows it in competitions and the paint still looks fine and has tons of metallic flake.

I got my entire car repainted at the local chevy dealer for around 2K. The paint job looks incredible. Do it right the first time. You will save money in the long run.
