New paint job?


I looked at alot of your guys paint jobs and noticed how much better they are then mine which is a stock silver 00. How much would it cost to get a nice dark blue or black paint job and how long does it take them ?

if your car is already black won't be a problem you'll need to get a quote for a real price estimate but if they have to change the color it will be a lot of work. removing interior taking off pieces taking out all the carpet and dash and dorms ect. if you get it done right that is. But I wouldn't want to open the door of a black car and see blue.

No I meant changing the color of your car. not color changing paint. If you go silver to black you'll be looking at about a week and 3500 dollars.

the same color as you your looking at about 1500-2000. If you change color they pretty much have to strip the car. on a same color they just paint the outside. example opening a the door of a black car and seeing a silver dorr jam

dude, the reason its so expensive, is because they have to paint the ENTIRE car. everything from inside engine bay, to inside sills. inside trunk. the entire frame. or youll look like a dumbass with multicolor parts.

you could get a gallon of dupont or ppg paint for like 3 - 400 bones... not too much.... it all depends on the color you want
