Price of Paint Job?

what is a decent price to pay for a good paint job in texas? I want one single color and its going to be a black pearl.

6 grand for basic paint with minimal body work>

6 grand your out of your mind that better include shaving everything you can go to a body shop and get a complete color change and minimal body work (door dings) for less than 3 grand i do custom painting on the side of my daily job of painting cars for a body shop and i have never charged mor than 3 grand and it was 6 colors and i did a little shaving

We start our pricing at $3500, add for damage, shaving or anything else. Usually all said and done it was $4500-5500 or so. We're talking full show buff, smooth as glass.

Although, our kandy paint prices start at around 6 grand:



The price of the paint job really depends on what your looking for. Are you looking for true show quality, or more of a daily driver???

6 grand bro sounds bout right

for an ametuer painter like yourself this may make it sem like i am, "out of my mind"

i can see it worth 5gs for a decent 1 color job, id rather drink the water from wetsanding primer and clear than do the wetsanding, wet feet suck!
