How much would a stock black paint job cost?

how much would this cost along with repairs? there's probably as many small ass paint chips as there are stars in the sky on my damn bumper, along with some lil dents. im plannin on just paintin the exterior and not the engine bay.

The cheapest you can find a quality job for would be around 2,000.

If you were on the east side, I could help you out. If you don't know anyone that can help you out, I'd say a minimum of $2,000 for a good enough job.

If I were you and wanted to save your money.. get your front end re painted and do a color match, then get a 3M clear bra put on it looks great when done....

a clear bra is just like mirror tint but clear.. when you first have it put on you can see where it has been put on but not very noticable only when your looking close. after due time you won't even be able to see it... Here in Missouri and Kansas the roads blow with small rocks and shit, so most dealerships like BMW, Mercedes, Acura, Infinity, and Lexus have these put on off the showroom... it should only cost about 100 or less...

......Just a lil tip..since your car is black like mine, this will work.....wash the front of the car really well with one of those bug sponges, get all the bugs, etc off....shammy dry....get a black sharpie marker and carefully color in the chips..be careful not to get it on the paint, just the chipped area...let it dry for about 20 min...then apply a good coat of wax and buff the hell out of it.....naturally it wont look as good as if you painted it, but it is a definate improvement...I do it once every 2-3 months to cover up all the chips........BTW this only works on the bumper, do not try it on the metal hood....hope this helps
