How much would a quality paint job cost on a standard 4-door sedan?

Question

I have a 1995 Buick Regal and it is currently green(original car color). I want to get the paint sanded and then repainted black. I am wanting a quality paint job that would last a few years at least. How much do you think this would cost on average? Is it affordable for a high school student making 10 dollars an hour/ 100 dollars a week?

Answer 1

changing the color is more expensive and a good looking quality job will run you in the neighborhood of 4 to $5,000.

Answer 2

Maybe $2000 if there is barley any dents on the car that needs to be fixed.

Answer 4

Well, first, you can buy paint that goes over the old, yes after sanding and treating (cleaning)  You may want to use a primer, or sealer, that's up to.  I  sell automotive  paint and supplies.  A high gloss acrylic enamel, it runs $50 a gallon. so if youre doing under the hood and the door jams your looking at 1 and a half gallons of paint. now, you will need a reducer, and a hardener, for the paint. I can go on, the best thing to do is to compare the body shops prices, or, if you know of someone who paints, I can tell you the shops will be expensive. hope I helped ya :-)
