I bought a 98 ITR and has served as my daily drive for past 8+ years. During that time It receive minor scratches and door dings. Just recently I was driving through and hit a sharp piece up metal. It scratched the passenger side door pretty well. Due to this and the other blemishes it received through the years, i thought it be a good time to get all the dings out and repaint the car. Any idea what the estimate would be on a good paint job for the entire car? thanks.

 

It will really depend on the shop...

Exactly. It also depends on the quality you want. Personally, I would have all the glass removed, but many people just opt to have the glass masked off and deal with the chips around the rubber that occur over time.

 

as said, theres many different levels of a full paint job

i've prices range from 3k - 10k+

if you care about the future appreance of your car, then ask around for a quality shop that won't cheap out on you

Unless its a full color change (door jambs, interior, engine bay)it shouldn't be too bad. You could do a lot of the prepwork yourself like repairing dings and sanding the body. That would save a lot of the labor, but make sure you get help from someone who knows, or do a lot research.

 

Way too many variables for a forum to give you accurate pricing. Why not just take the car to a couple body shops for an estimate? It's free.

 

Like stated before expect to spend at least 2,500.. it's all going to be weighted on the technician and the amount of dings and whatever.

Chances are you're going to get off *a little* easier spraying it back to CW, it's not as stingy to get absolutely flawless as compared to some other colors.
