Where can I go to find out how much it would cost to completley repaint my car?

Question

I have an 2002 Acura TL 3.2 and I want to paint it its original color (black). Just wanted to know if there was a site I could go get quotes at or if anyone knew a rough estimate.

Answer 1

Go to a good body shop. look at the work they do, make sure you are going to get your money's worth.

Answer 2

Get off the computer and on the phone. Check out the Yellow Pages for body shops in your area. You'll have to bring in the car for an estimate. Don't pay any shop to make an estimate. It should be free. If they want a fee...walk away.

Find out where your Acura dealer sends it's body shop customers. That shop will know if there are any problems painting the 2002 TL. His estimate will be a good standard for your others. A good paint job includes many steps involving labor. The more steps a shop does, the better the paint job will be.

Answer 3

You should just take it to a reputable body shop and get estimates. It could need body work that you might not be able to see. The cheaper body shops like Maaco or Earl Shieb do not do a fantastic job painting your car. If you don't mask the trim yourself, they paint right over it, you see overspray on your tires, rims, windshield, etc.

Maaco does a terrible job, stay away from them if you can afford. But for a good paint job, look to spend around $1000

Answer 7

I'd say Maaco too, but they did a crappy job on some simple work on my TL.
Go anywhere else but the dealer & shop around.

Answer 8

ask around to feel out the type of work a shop does first, ask many questions, and go look at some of their previous work and see how it is holding up.

Answer 9

Go to any Maaco shop. They are normally cheaper then a body shop. I can't vouch for their quality.

Answer 10

UH OH, better get MACCO..
