Sometime next year when I'm done paying off the car, I'm going to have the car re-painted to get rid of all the dings and scratches around.

Does anyone know how much a full paint job should run?

 

Give Mad Mods a call in Orlando 407-438-4945

 

I'm just curious what it will run as I will be doing this next year probably.

 

mad mods does awesome work talk to them theyll give you a good deal for quality job
probably a few thousand at least though

 

A paint job ranges drastically all over the board depending on the quality of the work (painting jams, engine bay, etc etc). I once paid for a paint job for about 2k and change on a classic mustang. While it looked good to the average viewer, it wasn't a very good job at all. I have seen some other "great" paint jobs (according to the pictures) that a user said ran him around 8k or so.

 

is the self healing paint available? and how expensive is it compared to normal paints?
i would like to get my G painted too, but i know a good job will be too much for me.

 

6-8k is what a decent paint job should be. Of course it can vary but they tend to be around that area.

 

Man 6-8k they better paint my car some lambo orange or something. Thats a lot of money for a paint job. I was under the impression that a good paintjob was still under 5k. I am talking about a pearl or maybe metallic at highest, not a color shift or anything. Maybe a color shift chameleon paint will run that high upwards of 6k..... I dont know i just think its insane amount of money for paint. Maybe a base + clearcoat would be somethig like 2k-3k if you just want to repaint and a GOOD job.....????

 

i got quoted for a paint job ( any color even ferrari and lambo paints) for close to $4k not sure if that included the engine bay and all that tho. and this is from a very very good shop

 

The paint cost is negligible compared to prep. If you want it done right then then they are going to properly prep the entire car and not just spray paint.

 

Ok and your point being? Sorry i am not trying to be rude i just dont understand how your statement relates to what i mentioned above?

From my interpretation, what you are trying to say is that it does not matter matter the cost of the paint itself, but the work going into the prep of the car. Last time i checked, they werent charging over 3k for just a spray of paint...... Its an all inclusive package, means prep + paint.

So once again

 

Probably just labor, you were probably supplying the paint then. There is a big difference between Ferrari/lambo paint and a regular base + clear... Not bad pricing though, thats real reasonable coming from a reputable shop.

 

Call Bob at Mad Mods tell him Danny sent you I used to work with him.

 

Lol and what would that be, I did custom auto paint for close to 5 years and I am dying to hear this answer.

 

no thats for everything.
