I was wondering if anyone could give me an estimate of how much a paint job would cost? From a crappy one to a real good one all i need is an approximate amount.

 

500(maaco)-3,000

 

i'd say 500-5000.....yes i know a guy who spent 5k on paint

 

5k on paint is easy to drop. If you know how to do the prep work and get most of it done yourself ittl cut the cost a little. I just primed half my buddies miata its going for paint soon.

 

just do it yourself do the body work if you need it done prep the car. buy a air gun at harbor fright tools and get automotive paint and do it. look online how to do a professional paint job its not hard im doing my car right now.

 

^Wrong. I hope you have practiced on plenty of spare fenders/hoods/etc. cuz your paint will not come out professional.

 

you dont now what your talking about.

 

^^...post up pix, after your done with painting your car...and we'll be the judge...

 

You sure about that?

OP im not saying you cant do a paint job yourself is hard, its all bout prepping, then more prepping, then spraying, the timing, then spraying, then prepping, then prepping, then spraying, then prepping, then spraying lol.

Prep is almost everything, but to have a professional paint job, you need a professional.
