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'm one of the world's crappiest painters.
I've done about 3 cars and enough panels, parts, and motorcycle bits to total about 5 cars (I repaint my front bumper and front valance on the race car about every 5 events) I'm fair at body work, primer and blocking.... once you've done it yourself and bought a few tools you will think 5K for decent paint is a steal If you decide to do this yourself, I would recommend hiring a pro to shoot (ALWAYS).... body work is a lot easier than top coat in my book |
