since my car is a 03 and it has lots minor scratches on the car, I hv decided to go from OB to IP ....but I wonder how much am I looking for to repaint it ? i will prbbly leave the top as is but repaint every where else.

 

it will lookk good if you go for the 10000 dollar paint job, but you will ruin the value of your car

 

10000 ??? r u serious?

 

$3-4k for a proper job

 

depends where you go and quality you want, i would be very careful who you choose. My friend ended up going with the wrong guys to repaint his 06 lexus gs after it was vandalized, and his insurance paid over 9k to a clown *ss company who took 2 months and lied numerous times.

 

If you want cheap, go to Maaco.

 

yea, i had a friend check them out...pieces of the car werent sanded down properly... paint started to peel in certain places, I could gone on forever... but thats just one shop, just go at your own risk....

 

I would say anywhere between $4-$10k for a quality job, obviously the more you pay, GENERALLY, the better job you get.

Before you decide to go and get completely resprayed take some things into consideration...
Down time, research (Consider the quality the shop produces, making sure they paint the WHOLE car as far as engine bay, trunk, door jams, etc), paint (Nissan paint is notorious for being soft and chips easy. If you decide to paint, consider something close to IP but a better paint quality that will give you longer life for your money.)

 

it all depends if you are going to drop the motor out to do the engine bay, to take the door panels off and the interior...if you are going to go cheap at least have them cover up whats visible without taking the car apart
