i gotta 00 civic, its white, but i wanted to paint it crystal white.. how much would it be? i already like it white, but i wanted to make it pop a lil more........

 

why don't you try giving a body shop a call or even a visit? I don't think you'll get a exact quote here.

 

best thing to do is to call around to local shops and get a quote. depending on whether or not you paint the engine bay, door jambs, trunk, etc., it could run you anywhere from $1000 and up.

 

Call and get an estimate. Most of us work on cars as a hobby, none of us can acurratley quote you on a paintjob.

Although, I remember one time my brother asked this one body shop how much a FULL paint job would be. (Engine bay, door jams, etc). They said it would be like 6000.

 

yea around 4-6000 is about right..paint is not cheap and labor sucks for it..it will def not be cheap...thats why i go to school for this..paint my car myself

 

The prep work is the majoirty of that cost because it's just so labor intensive.

School's not cheap either, but at least you walk away with knowledge and skills!

 

theres a guy down the street from where i live..He fixed all the dents and shaved holes and made the body straight, then primered it for only 600 bucks..its looked great...and he will paint it the stock color for 500 more dollars....he will just paint it that cheap if your keeping the same color..so he doesnt have to do jams...just saying...drive to michigan..i will get you aquainted with him..he has his own booth and everything...makes cars look brand new...lucky my hatch is stock black...so when i get my car painted..it doesnt have to be the stock color..cause black door jams, trunk, and the engine bay will match just about any exterior color i happen to throw on...

 

iight thanx.. i just wanted to get an idea of how much it might be, but thanx everyone...
