hey guys im a noobie wen it comes to cars so dont flame :P

i was just wondering how much a very good paint job with the very best paint quality is..as we all know the stock paint for the TL's are very crappy..

I talked to my friends dad where his shop can do paint jobs..and he said 800 for very good paint..but 1500 for the best shinest paint... is it just me..or is that way too expensive??? let me know around a good price on what i should pay for a good paint job..

thx guys for ur patience with this noobie

 

Repaint the same color?

 

currently, i have black.. i was thinking of repainting the same color..if not maybe silver.. but my question is..is that price reasonable??

 

i dont think you should listen to me..
but what i READ from HERE recently, a good paint job costs 2000+..

 

yea man u gettin a good price

 

I have to agree I priced a job in nyc the whole car $ 3000

 

You should check on the process they use. Do they strip the old paint off? Or do they just sand the old paint and use it as a primer? From there, you can compare prices for similar processes and labor.

 

thx guys..very helpful

 

ummm in Houston...custom paint...would be around 2000-3000 for complete color change...w/ my hook up around 800-1500 (depending on dents) for Same color...meanning they dont paint the insides.

 

ya..supposedly my friends dad was hookin me up ...for 800-1500 ...didnt know if that was a good deal cuz im a nooobie!!!

dont know if really want a whole body paint over..or if they can just touch it up.. hmm

he was also chargin me 150 dollars to install HID kit fog lights which i think is too high =/

 

I need to get my 02tl painted because of idiots keying my car. The acura dealership wanted $4500
