Good afternoon everyone,
How much should I budget for a paint job? My car was origionally blue and one of the previous owners repainted it red. I would like to go back to the factory blue. I was thinking about sanding down to the origional blue paint or should I just let them add another layer. Thanks DAvid |

I just had mine glass beaded to bare metal ($800 incl the finest glass available), metal work to fix some rust not visible while the paint was still on, and primed (Excellent primer) another $3,600. Paint will be another $3K with high quality paint.
I did the stripping of all rubber, bumpers and trim and some of the masking off because I was trapped there for hours until my ride came to get me. Lots of work just for me. Good luck! |
