i need to know how much roughly the paint is going to cost for my car, thanks

 

depends the quality of the paint you want to use, what color, and where are you buying it from?

when we painted our project car (74 Nova) we used about a gallon of Victory Red which cost about 540 bucks per gallon, and when i painted my hatch, we used a gallon of Phantom Grey which ran us about 320 bucks, so theres multiple factors you have to take into consideration before you want an exact price.

take it to a body shop and ask.

 

thanks, how much do you think it will be just to paint it SI blue? i have a friend who will paint it i just need a rough idea

 

have you though about supplies? sand paper, clear coat, primer, electrical prices (air compressor, spray gun... etc)

painting a car isn't cheap, i suggest doing some research about paint expenses because im not too sure about Si blue.

 

my car is primered and my friend is doing everything else for free

 

you picked an expensive color i just painted my freinds 00 Si hood and a pint cost like 165 and it was chroma base not the best but good enough so be prepared to pay for a gallon good luck and its not that easy to paint that color eather

sounds about right. some paint can be very expensive. this is my opinion, but pearl blue almost looks like Si blue, and if you dont feel like paying alot, i'd go with that, but then again, if you really like a color, i'd say pay the extra money for it, because that paint job is ganna be with you for a very long time.

 

what about if i did just black?

 

Your best bet is to go to the local paint supply shop and check with them.

make sure its something you want cause theres no sence in paying for a paint job your not going to enjoy. its worth going the extra mile if it means getting something you want.

I highly doubt it was PPG. It was probably Omni/Shopline. Which is a part of PPG, but the paint isn't as thick, nor is the color a perfect match to factory.

DBC in EBP is like 120 a quart for me.
