About $2000. YTou can usually find people to do it cheaper, just find connections. I know guys who do a really nice job for $500.

Probally around $2000 for a color change, more if you need body work.
I paid $1200 for mine but I gave them the car stripped, no motor,lights,
interior etc.

Just a word of advice... you get what you pay for. A friend of mine will do a complete repaint for $3000 and it's better than oem quality. You can probably find someone who will do a good job for $2000 give or take a little. Maaco is cheap for a good reason, they do half-assed work and the paint will fall off or bubble in very little time.

I agree w/ above. Proably around 2k for color change. You could probably get it done decent for 1k if you didn't want the door jams and such done, just outside of car. Don't waste your money w/ Macco, you'd be better off spending $20 at Wal-Mart and spray painting it yourself!!

you can go to maaco...just make sure you sand and primer your car before you do it...and tape up everything because they just point and shoot from what i've seen.

I don't think there is such a thing. No paint job I have ever seen is better then a factory paint job. I've learned from experience. Only paint your car if it is 100% necessary.
