Paint Job

[Vilamaek]

I've been looking and I haven't seen anyone address repainting an entire vehicle. I saw one person has for about 4 grand, but I wanted to see if anyone else had some more information? I wouldn't want to spend near that much. Maybe like a grand. I love the taffeta white, but I'm not putting a 4 thousand dollar value on it. Does it just come down to finding a body shop around here to do it and getting a quote? How hard would a self-paint be? Or maybe I should just let my taffeta dreams fly away..

When it comes to paint you tend to get what you pay for. I would say 4k is about average if not on the low side. If you can find a shop hurting for work you may get a better price.

The biggest cost with repainting a car is the prep work. If you're willing to do most, if not, all the prep, you can save the cash that way.

keep in mind he's talking color change not a re spray

I understand that. Prep is still the biggest part of the cost.

Ask Chris, armyguy, he had his whole car painted a Subaru Blue.

Do a respray and then wrap it yourself. 3M has about 3-4 different whites in their 1080 series. Just an option

Thanks for the replies! I don't think I'd have the guts to prep it myself.. This might be a backburner mod for sure. Good to know about the pricing though.
