400 bucks for a decent job. black is probably the best color to have done at a place like macco, because honestly, they do nice flat paint jobs. problem is, the prep work sucks. but with black, you wont really notice overspray. just call some local places and get some prices.

Oh, and take it from personal experience..do NOT get black done at maaco! Their black paint NEVER comes out good. from straight on it looks alright, but when you catch it from an angle, you can see how dull it is.
$1500+ is what a REAL paint job is gonna run you.

Re: How Much $ Too Paint My Car (josups)
oh yeah, do you have any pictures of that yellow? and why did you get it done twice?
i painted the car twice because on my very first wheel to wheel race at a track i brushed against some fool who decided not to use his mirrors.
btw that is my beater/racecar... for now. im gonna try to sell it and put the money into my civic.
edit- just if anybody is wondering...
86 trans am
smog equipment removed
11:1 compression
camshaft y0, massive lift. it lopes like a ****
LT1 intake manifold
complete bolt ons
eibach springs
tokiko shocks
virtually every suspension component replace with hotchkis
never dynod but it probably makes 300 horse and 325 torque
when it was stock it ran 16.6 at LACR/palmdale and now it runs 13.6 both times uncorrected for altitude.

don't go to Maaco.
And overspray is when paint goes where it's not supposed to. ie fender wells, exhaust, etc.

I had my old CRX painted red at maaco, they did a REALLY good job(no overspray). I had it for about a year until i sold it and it still looked really clean. Just take a look at the cars they just had done to see the quality of the job. Cost me about $329

If you care about the appearance of your car, don't even dream of taking it to maaco. Anybody who says they do good work have obviously never seen a real paintjob. Average cost for complete paint job, including door jambs, and all prep work is around $2000. Paint costs are around $400-$800 for dupont paints. Expect to pay more for the paintjob if theres alot of dings, or deep dings and scratches.
Bumpers are $150-200 for prep, paint, and clear. I don't know how much it would be if its already prepped. Fenders should be in the $100 range. Hoods are $200 inside and out. Some shops won't do engine bays or interior at all. Most will charge an extra 2-500 more for either one. $750-1000 for both. Probably alot less if they dont have to take anything out themselves.

Re: How Much $ Too Paint My Car (autoxdelsol)
macco is a family run business...everyoen macco shop has its own good qualitys...some are good...most are bad...but the black paint job that i got done 1 year ago..still looks good to me...
if you want good paint...prep the car yourself...take everything out..tow it to a autopaint job shop...then all they do is spray...preppin yourself saves money...
but if you were to paint it yourself..prob like 200 bucks or bellow..
