AE101 metallic greenish gray into VW/Audi Red (laserot). Mates rates. Not the best job.

I'm looking at $2000 to have the Starlet done in red, including door shuts and so on.

That's with me doing the sanding and prep for it.

[TOYROTA]

my starlet is only costing $800 to panel and paint and thats includeing the cost of the paint

[RomanV]

I repainted my own car, and after seeing how much work it takes, I can understand why paint jobs cost so much!

You definitely get what you pay for, you're never gonna get a mint paintjob for a grand.

In saying that, it's hardly worth getting a $10,000 paint job for a $2000 car.

sounds like a good price to me..

[matt dunn]

$250 per panel, so two front guards, two doors, bonnet, boot, roof, 2 bumpers,

Around $2500 for a perfect job guarenteed.

Depend on the paint you choose though.

the paint on some cars can cost up to $1000 per litre.

[no_8wire]

if you want a good job...$50 of matt black from your nearest supercheap...



Stay away from metalics if your worried about cost...for an respray from mine it was going to cost 2500-3000...and thats not the door jams or engine bay yada yada
