How much does it cost to paint a car??

Question

i just got my first car and i want to paint it black (white now). What is a good estimate for a cheap paint job?

Answer 1

If you want the the cheapest paint job,80.Good paint job but cheap,100.

Answer 2

$250-$350 if you can find someone who is small time.  You don't want to go to a major paint shop. They charge an arm and a leg.

Answer 3

Anywhere from $300 to up in the thousands.

Answer 4

It really all depends on who you have do it. Like if you take it to a dealer to have it done or a professional, you should expect to pay upwards of 400 dollars. Its just all depends, I would reccomend getting a few estimates from around where you live and go with the cheapest one ;)

Answer 5

starting price or an average car now is around 1200 bucks and to change the color one usually runs a few hundred extra because they have to paint inside all the areas like the door jams and truck area,you can expect it to start out at around 1200 at the least to get this done,for good job,a cheap job is cheaper but wont hold up very well,good luck.

Answer 6

cheap you could do it yourself for $50-100

For professional paint jobs that don't last 1 year or so you'd have to pay $1000+

Answer 7
