Car re-spray costs

[UZZ30]

Any one have an idea of average costs for a decent stock shinny paint job on a large coupe?


Who are the best people in Auckland for car paint jobs?

[Dell'Orto]

Costs can vary widely, anywhere from $500 upwards. Depends on the condition of the car to start with, and what type of paint.

The best people don't charge average costs

$500 bucks, ?? Hrmm really?

Were paying $1400.

If it was only $500, my MR2 wouldn't be pink till this day.

You're looking at $2k+ for a decent job. Stripping paint, interior and trims, then bog, prime, paint.

If you can do it yourself or with some mates you should be able to do it fairly cheap.

$400 will do a couple of coats of paint + a few coats of clear on a small sedan. We did an escort Pannel Van from the bare metal for $800 at cost, and a mate spent $1100 on an Integra doing it himself (7 clear coates!).

It really depends what your doing. If the clear coat is fading / flaking, then you can get away without having to prime the whole thing, and you wont need so many coats of paint.

[Adydas]

That sounds better you had me worried there.

[RomanV]

I think that to get a complete paintjob that you would be happy with, it would cost AT LEAST 2 grand.

There's a lot of work involved!

Labour costs++

And yeah Akane, is your idea to drive so fast, that no one can see your paint?

We're having a bit more than just a standard paint job tho...

I make my car look crap so my boyfriend (Wildcard)'s car can look good in comparison

[matt dunn]

For a good job it's about $250 per panel,
Four guards, two doors, bonnet, boot, front and rear.
10 panels $2500.
