Hi guys. My car is a 98 black metalic. The car had some damage to the hood before i owned it and was repainted. Problem is there is visible dust under the paint. I was thinking about having the car repainted. If i was to change colors and go with Porsche Midnight Blue Metallic (dont want to sound like an idiot here) i assume the whole car would have to be sanded down before the new paint. How much do you guys think for a good paint job? Also what about the color choice.

Here is an example of a porsche that color

Thanks

 

your talking about 4,000 for a good job. Porsche paint excluded in that price. You would have to sand, prime and paint. Just bring it to Maaco, $299 out the door for a high quality job

 

lol, that's for there cheap job though. The "full works" paint job at maaco is about $1000. Sounds about right for a good paint job. Good, not excellent.

 

Sometimes they have a special where it would be like $500. I have seen though commericals for a while though.

 

yeah there's a special at the one near me. I got a quote from them for the hell of it, even though I have no money right now. They have the special and knowck downthe $1000 one down to $850 and then plus the door jams, it totals $1011 with taxes and all. Not to bad, for a basecoat/clearcoat and sand blast the previous paint off.

 

sand blast? or machine sand?^^^^

 

RSP - Royal Sapphire Pearl Supra is by far my favorite paint job/color ever




to bad its like a 7 grand paint job?

 

i wouldnt think 7 gs...... in the few thousands yes.,....

 

i can get kandy colors for less than 7

 

damn peeps on Supra forums always exaggerate stuff

 

i dunno RSP was one of the rarest colors for the supra...but yes i do agree 7 g's is quite high

 

katana spent like 10g for everything done to his car

 

true..but he also got tons of custom work..the back bumper line, molded lip, his side things
most of his cost was labor

 

how come when you get a new paint job, it looks good, but then when u bring it to get wet sanded, it gets waves? i just got my car repainted black and when it got wet sanded, it has waves now. wtf?

 

It does not cost 7gs for RSP paint. If your getting charged that much then your getting ripped off....

 

 

wet sanding is supposed to get rid of the orange peel..not make it
