Question Paint Job

How much do you think it would cost to get a small to medium sized car re-painted? (A good job, not just spray paint over the bugs and leaves for $200) I'd like to have my car done, but have no idea what a good offer would be. Thanks

It depends if you want clear coat, hand buffing, etc. Id say you could get a medium sized car painted with clear coat for 1500 or so

Yeah, I'd want Clearcoat, it is worth it to me. I was hoping for a little less than $1500, but I guess that's not to bad. It's for a Probe GT, all one color.

Oh common, the leaves and bugs add texture!

I can see it now, he is awakened to a ding ding ding . . . looks outside and sees his car covered with birds pecking the bugs out of the paint.

For 275 I'll sweep the leaves off before I spray paint it but if you want the bugs scraped off its gonna cost ya at least another 50.

Heck for another 100 I'll tape paper over the windows.

How about that model paint you get at the Hobby Shop? Can you work with that?

Those brushes are too small. If I can't use up the rest of my rustoleum or my four inch paint brush then it's gonna cost extra.

If you let me use a roller I'll deduct the bug scraping fee.


Ummm.. did you want gloss black or flat white?
