How much would it generally cost for me to get my 03 TL-S repainted? I'm thinkin NBP or glossy black

Can range greatly. You're looking at $200 to $7000. Could soar a lot higher depending on quality.

Either way, I really want to discourage you from doing it. You will most likely regret it, unless you pay out the hat for a high-end paint job.

I repainted my car (same color) for about $500, and deeply regret it. They got paint on just about every piece of the car, including the headlights.

Good thing it came with a 2-year warranty. Oh wait, they went out of business one week after.

consider paint correction and detail before you do anything else. head over to the Wash & Wax section for more details.

if you could post up pics of your car to let us see what the current paint looks like, it would be helpful.

I bet you could get a very good factory quality paint job done at a reputable body shop for $2500.00 and it would look great.
