How hard would it be to go from Silver to the Black?? What should I expect to pay for a good paint job??

 

it depends, i was quoted on my old car (thunderbird) $4000 for a color change which they would paint everything all the door jams under the trunk and even the engine bay, they also take all the panels off, personally i would not do it if i were you, nothing is as good as the origional factory pain't job. it may be cheaper to trade yours in and get a new black one.

 

I agree with Ant...factory paint is always the best and you shouldn't really be changing to a color that the car is actually available in. I mean it might make sense if you wanted say a metallic blue or something but painting it black over factory paint? Just don't make any sense.

don't change the color unless you're thinking of keeping this car till it dies or u don't care how much it depreciates....if you don't want to lose too much value, paint it inside and out.. i.e. door jams, underneath the hood, etc...
for a good paint job, you're gonna pay at least 800 - 1000, maybe more. be careful of cheap prices, cuz the quality might reflect the price. definitely DO NOT go to maaco. they suck.

Yeah, for a real good paint job (factory quality) it would be about 3 to 4k.

Painting a brand new car that has no problems, doesn't make sense to me. Why didn't you just get a Black G35?

Saw a brand new yellow Type R changed to silver, waddda guy.

$800-1000 for a good paint job! where?
the cheapest i found for my dad's car was $2800 and they pull all the glass, mouldings, bumpers, and that was the cheapest i can find in south florida. if you know a place that charges $1000 please let me know.

 

that was just a guess.. plus i'm in texas. prices could be a little different.. for a really good paint job, i wouldn't pay less than 2 - 3K.. for entire car.
