well i am going to paint my car and the guy i took my car to said the paint and the meterial itself is going to cost close to $1000. i told him to get the best paint and clear coat. he is painting the whole car including the door gams. does the price for the meterial alone sounds correct?? thanks.

 

Sounds high to me what kind of paint are they going to use?

Sounds kind of high though. The paint should not cost more than 300-400ish. I do know what other materials he is referring to. Get a break down from him.

 

ok how about this. he is installing the jdm front end on my car, painting the whole car includind the doors jams, taking the side moling out and welding the wholes, fixing the few dings here and there. all for $3000. how is that deal.

 

1000-1500 for installing a JDM front, 2,000-4,000 for a good full car spray, 500ish on dings, plus the labor/materials for anything else... If this guy checks out and his work is good, sounds like your getting a decent deal.

These are estimates from what I have seen in the past. I am by no means a paint pro

 

yea he is a really good painter and i know he is going to do a good job on painting the whole car. but i just wanst sure on the price.

 

Go for it...

 

paint materials for me was around 4-500 I had my whole car takin apart and repainted for less than 1500 including all body work and it looks absolutly brand new..it was a trade more than money.. a set of big block heads for all of it, the guy that painted and everything said it was quoted at 5200+
