Paint question...

1FastFox · April 15th, 2008, 03:22 PM

First off, I dont spend much time in this section but I guess I will be more here soon. I had a 06 GT vert that I sold a few weeks back and now it back to my 91 GT that has been on the back burner for the last year and a half ( after I got the new one ). I have a 91 with a mile long list of mods. Now that Im dont building the motor ( till I get the itch for more power ) I need to get some fresh pain on here. How much do you think Im looking at to paint and have new seals put in around the windows? Im going to get an estimate but want a bargaining chip before I go.
Thanks for you help...

without looking at the car I would have to say go to a few places and get a few prices.

Iwannagofast · April 15th, 2008, 03:43 PM

depends on how much quality you want to pay for basically.....i have seen paint jobs for 200 bucks before

OK, to be a little more specific. My car has a staight body ( no body work needed ). This car is not a DD is just a fast toy, so Im not looking to get some exotic paint job on it. Just something that look presentable. I was thinking in the ball park of like 2k. Am I being realistic here or do I need to prepare myself for a shock when I go to get the estimate?

I wouldnt spend more than 2.5K on a solid color paint job ever. Plus the paint price depends on the Co. and Color - Example- Red is one of the most expensive colors.

if you are willing to drop 2k then you are gonna have a nice paint job. If its more than that, then that is just crazy.

Good deal. I had a feeling I was looking at more. Its a one color ( atlantic blue ) paint job, so hopefully I can get it done reasonably priced...

I have a friend that spent 1200 hundred and did some of the prep him self and he got a sick paint job. Platinum silver with a blue pearl, fr500, wheels, cobra r hood,cobra rear bumber, steeda wing. His car is really unique and cool looking.
