This is a common question I’m asked in person and online, particularly in the youtube comments. Hopefully this provides some insight on how much it costs to paint a car. I know it comes as a surprise to many, sorry to disappoint it can be very expensive.

how much is graffiti
3 words: Mighty Car Mods. Honestly, their $50 2 tone black and green paint
job with rattle cans and a clear coat looks fabulous on their Nissan drift
car. Make a make shift paint booth and try your best with rattle cans and
some clear coat. I’ve seen some dang good paint jobs done like that.
thats was up now i can show this vid to the dumm ass cheap sk8s
Thanks for the video. I personally work in the restoration industry. Last
year I went into business for myself, performing partial or ground up
restorations. I have also done several complete color changes. All the
vehicles have been wet sanded, buffed, and polished. I have very difficult
time myself knowing how to bid or quote how much a paint job is going to
cost, especially when there are local businesses charging a third of what I
charge.
Thanks for the video. I have a car that needs a paint job and this helped
me understand what to expect when I finally select a shop. I at least know
what to ask when discussing what they will do from start to finish.
Thanks – very helpful. Guess I’ll put aside the idea of getting my old car
painted. To do it right is too rich for my blood.
Just do plastic dip! :”D
Thank you!!! gave me answers to questions i didn’t even have…very
thorough.It will help me reach a decision and the right paint
shop…..Pauline
living in california having not only high prices but paint chemical
restrictions which makes it harder to get a paint that lasts a life time,
someone who works at a profesional body shop quotes me 3k to paint my k5
blazer in and out medium quality paint. is this a fair price? i know theres
10k+ dollar paint jobs.
Too expensive, I think I’m going to get the Vespa after all!!!!!!!!
what would the numbers be around to paint the completely body inside and
out and i strip the complete car down to just the body and panels that are
going to be painted, no prepping done, the cars a 98 civic hatchback so its
small with only minor dents, i plan on using in for track day and road
racing events so it doesnt have to be perfect or care if its super shiny i
just wont it to be enough quality to withstand the track conditions. i live
in the middle of nowhere and the shops here are the kind that dont take
there time so i plan on trailering the body to a bigger area were so family
live, lots of shops there to check out. with the info i gave you without
seeing the car what would your rough estimate be. id like to spend around
2000-2500, id be willing to spend if necessary. thanks
Thanks for this! It was short, but sweet and to the point. Very well done!
Expansive in India as in your country. It was an great idea but if try to
maintain your car as well as does maintain your health.then, it may be will
not so expansive and one more thing should do,safe drive. its also save
your money. Good time :)
Its real hard to offer a lifetime warranty even with the best paints I
work for a shop in Florida if you only want a $500 paint job that’s what
you get or if you want a $10,000 paint job we do that too with this
economy you have to cater to the customer just because a shop offers a
cheap job for $500 does not mean their not qualified to do high end jobs
too and if a shop offers you a lifetime warranty their just blowing smoke
up your azz to get the job I spray DuPont, House of kolor and your still
only going to get a 3 year warranty paints are not made to last forever
About 30 years ago I would do all the body work on my car mask it off in
the body shop parking lot and roll it in their paint booth. I would supply
the enamel paint (remember this was 30 years ago) and sealer. They would
shoot it for 50 bucks. Crazy.
I need to repaint my green driver door to beige, but so far the quotes have
been way too expensive for me. I was hit on the driver side of my 2002 kia
sportage and replaced the door with a green one, while the entire car
itself is beige. I’ve driven it for 3 months now, but I’m tired of all the
stares. I want to try and paint it myself since it’s only one door. I would
really appreciate it if y’all can tell me what paint to use and the process
to do it. Thank you all in advance.
Depends on your car too. 1986 toyota pickup? Go with the cheap maaco job,
and if it starts to go bad in 2 or 3 years.. respray it!
It’s the labor. The paint should run you about 1500.00. It’s all bs….it’s
the labor. If a shop goes to all the trouble to do a correct job…he’s
charging the poor consumer about 248.00 per hour. Two weeks to do the whole
car….10 grand….160 hours for four peeps…62.00 an hour per person. Pay
the average guy minimum wage to do the work, maybe cut back on the paint
quality and the paint shop owner is living the high life….kinda like the
pizza store owner….low cost of ingredients and ridiculous prices….
I am trying to find a body shop that will actually do a restoration primer
/ paint job for me. Nobody wants to touch it, they are only interested in
collision repair. They make 4 times the money in repair. I never thought it
would be so difficult to find a body shop to paint my car.
I am expecting to pay as much as $25000.00 to finish up the body work but
nobody seems interested and I have already spent 4 years of my time
restoring it.
When you speak into a mic, mind your Ps and Bs. If you over enunciate them
you create what’s called Plosives. They’re very annoying.
to tell you the truth that is quite high with plasti dip you can do your
whole car yourself the paint comes out thick so you just need to wash and
dry the car no super cleaning or anything this pain comes out looking
better than stock and can be customized with whatever color you want for
ONLY 300-400 DOLLARS THAT IS THE WAY TO GO IF YOU DONT WANT TO SPEND ALOT
OF MONEY ON A PAINT JOB BUT STILL WANT PROFECINAL LOOKS
Thanks for the basic information. It is a good start to learn or see what
kind of paint job can be done for those that do not know.
Stop giving a shit.
I believe your video was done well, irregardless of what others think…
I gather that there are few painters like Gunman in Canada, and few owners
willing and able to do prep work like removing trim.
It is really helpful video.

Thank you for your video clip. I know perform inside the refurbishment
market. A year ago My partner and i travelled directly into enterprise
regarding me personally, executing part or perhaps soil upwards
restorations. We have furthermore completed many full shade adjustments.
Every one of the autos are already damp sanded, buffed, and also finished.
We have extremely tough moment me personally focusing on how to be able to
wager or perhaps estimate simply how much any color career will probably
expense, specially when you can find neighborhood organizations asking one
third regarding just what My partner and i demand.you can visit Moorack
