Well, there it is. 2000 dollars for a complete paint job. Only body work they will be doing is replacing new driver's fender. It comes out to 800 for the paint and 1200 in labour. I still have to get the rust off the doors :smilie of old guy hanging himself: . How much would you/did you pay for this job?

i dont know i guess it all depends n whre you go to get yours . when i loked around for painting quotes ive gotten quotes from 500 dollars (paint included) to 3k for a complete switch. i dont kno why the broad range in prices i think its in the steps of how the job is done, you dont see many body shops actually baking paint jobs like they should. Most skip steps to save time and money but if you paid cheaper and ya got a good job thatz great. but ive found that a decent paint job would cost you 2k. from personal experience. my friend hit my celi one day while we were driving in a group down the highway (dumbass tried to race another car) he put a nice lil dent in my driver side fender and in my driver door. it needed to be painted and dents repaired. the dents wasnt that bad but the cost. 1.1k for a respray of the door and front fender. and get this the job sucked ass. that was the worst paint jb ive ever seen. you cant tell a differnce if your far away but if youu get close you can tell that the paint used was cheap very cheap. so i dont know its wierd that you can get a whole car painted for 500 something bucks. maybe my firend got screwed whenhe had to pay the bill ha! well ne wayz im savin my self for a new one 2 candy red is what im lookin for. I dont wnat to spend under 2k for it.
