how much should it cost to repaint a car?

Question

I was looking into buying a used jeep wrangler

Answer 1

A paint job can be anywhere from a few hundred dollars (for a scuff and shoot type job such as Macco) to tens of thousands (for custom and trick paint work)

The cost depends on the quality of the job, and the condition of the vehicle. Chips and scratches must be sanded and blended. Any body work must be done. If you paint over flaws in the body, the flaws will show in the new paint!

Without seeing the vehicle, it is hard to tell what a good job will cost!

Answer 2

That depends on what kind of paintjob you want.

When I was into 4x4s we used spray-paint because after the weekend we could fix any scratched.

If you are looking for a good and cheap paint job I would spend 3-4 hundred.
This is last a year of two and will chip and fade.

If you want a quality kick azz paint job that looks factory and will last a long time it will be 6-8 k custom colors and designs go up from there.

Answer 3

Depends on if you want a cheep paint job or a good one. You could get out as cheep as 3 or 4 hundred or you could spend as much as 2 or 3 thousand.

Answer 4

What mdswoosh said. But even if you do it yourself, you need a paint sprayer, and generally buckets of good car paint cost anywhere between 40-60 a gallon, and for a wrangler you'll probably need 4 or 5 gallons.

Not to mention you'll have to sand off the old paint yourself.

Answer 5

you can get cheap paint job from Maco for 249.00 on sale and spend more than 5000.00 at a professional autobody shop. depends on what you are looking for in a paint job.

Answer 6

depends. you can get a good paint job for less than 1500 if you know where to go & you have a hook ... other wise, usually it's around 2000.

Answer 7

couple hundred, unless you do it yourself.
