How much should getting my car painted cost?

Question

My car is a 1999 Saturn and I really want to get it painted cause i just hate the current color.

I just want it painted green. No opalescent paint or anything like that, just plain green.

How much should this cost?

Answer 1

depends on the quality of paint and the durability you want. A cheapo paint job from Maaco or earl schieb at around 150.00 will last just about a year before it startes peeling. That's because they don't sand or prep it very well for that price. Then again the upper priced paint jobs a maaco are much better, they sand and prep better and it lasts longer. Or you can go crazy at the paint shops and stack up 2-3000 dollars for a "plain paint job".

Answer 2

With paint you get what you pay for.

First off you factory paint is better than what you can get sprayed on. The factory paint cover the entire part and is baked on.

You can get a cheap paint job for $300 and it will lask about a year and then start peeling and fading.

I plan to have my 80 vett painted and expect to spend 6-8K
That should be a good paint job that looks good and lasts.

I would recommend that you just sell your car and buy a car of the color you want. That would be a better move.

Answer 3

To get a decent quality paint job - and with Black you need a decent job - you will be looking at about 800 quid which is more than the car is worth.

Answer 5

I know someone that will do it for $300 bucks but I wouldn't recommend him.It depends on where you take it.I'd say any where from 800 to 2000 dollars.

Answer 6

Depends on the quality, bad quality = $200
good = $3000

Answer 7

That depends on where you go. Maaco is pretty cheap, but it will look cheap too! You can take it to the dealer and you may be looking at $1000K to start. Your car is too old to paint. Just leave it as is and replace it later on with a car that is the color you want.

Answer 8

150$ or more

Answer 9

the entire thing...roughly 3000-5000...call the body shops they can give u free quotes...

Answer 10

$189.00 Maaco
