a custom paint job will cost between $5000 & $10,000... that should include stripping old paint and using custom paint....

custom paint shouldnt cost more than $5000 for good quality paint with good amount of layers...try to add lots of coatings of clear coat to protect the paint..

Yeah 5-10 grand sounds way to high unless you are doing custom flames or something. NY or not. I would say you could get a decent SI colored paint job for like 3 and half.

I don't know what's going on--first Casper agrees with me in the new tire thread, and now I agree with him. A GOOD paint job (one that's worthy of gracing our awesome automobile) will run you a lot of money. I've spent over $1000 just getting a quarterpanel repainted, because it's a laborious process to strip, color match, paint (several layers), clear coat (several layers), and bake. Sure you could probably get it done for a couple grand, but how would it look? How would it look a few years down the road?
