Paint Job Question

stangjunkie86 · March 16th, 2006, 07:00 AM

The first thing on my list for my 86 GT project is a paint job its got a few rust spots here and there but nothing major. I wanted to get it painted the stock color red. My question is what would I look at spending for a job like that? Maaco is not a option.

Good paint jobs can cost upwards of 5k if you've got some rust / bodywork to do and you want it done right.

It depends how much is already painted etc and how much work you do yourself... if you want your engine bay painted alot of places want the engine ripped etc and f you want the interior done, take the time to remove the peices yourself instead of them charging you their hourly rate to take it out and put it back in for you. Best bet is to find a local shop that does some decent work and see how much of a break you can get and how much of the work you can do yourself to save their time and your money
