was that 300 with a brush or a roller??????mine ran $3500 and my buddies was 10k.you get what you pay forlatamud said:you mighty be able to find someone to shoot the car from around $300 and up. The price all depends on the paint, prep work/time and quality. I paid $40 a pint(unmixed) for my paint. 8 pints to a gallon so around $320 for a gallon. You can definately find cheaper paint.

You will find that many shops won't even touch your car if they don't do the prep work. Many paints are designed to work with special primers and no matter what you do or say the shop will want to sand off all your pre-done primer and smoother and do it themselves. This also gives them a guarantee that if you aint satisfied...it really is their fault...as apposed to laying down 3 coats of base and 2 coats of clear and then you saying you don't want to pay becuase it looks like crap because it shows all the imperfections in the body work.
Anyway....Macco will spray a car as is for <$800. Some shops out there will still prep and paint and do a decent job in the 2-3k for labor range.

Actually I wasnt comparing it to anything.I know what a paint job consist of because I did some of the paint myself.I was just saying what paint cost and you get what you pay for.I have painted several cars before and my materials was NEVER less then about $650,and these werent custom,pearls,or show cars.Cobain03 said:your not comparing apples to apples ISK... obviously your car is leaning towards a show car side. you have pearl additives and flames and stripes. for a solid color it would be much cheaper. my two colors was around 300 bucks (and some change). my blue had metal flakes added too. it all depends on the color,amount of paint, how many coats, any additives and ect.
Is that picture after crash / repair???? Looks perfect!!dodgestang said:Soo true.
It cost $400+ just for the Paint that's on my car..nothing else...granted red always seems to be more money
