Default A good price for a flawless paint job.....what would you pay?

My car is going into the shop this coming week. I got a price of 2 grand to get my car completely repainted and all the dents pulled. He is also paint matching my side skirts, a new hood, bumper, lip, grill, and is repairing a break-in attempt on the rear door. hes also painted the chrome door trim ( comes on a 4-door civic). Hes painting it back the stock color hes also shaving the rear honda emblem and shaving the antenna......what is this worth to you guys. Is this a bad price....comes with warranty. This also includes replacing the rear small window.

I'd have to see what kind of work he does, but from you're saying seems like a good deal. As long as his other work is good, you should be fine

hmm, I kinda thought you were doing a color change as well. Yeah, if the work is really that good, then I guess 2g's isn't too bad. It all comes down to the quality of the work. I've seen some guys get their cars painted cheap, and well, you get what you pay for. My color change was about 1500, and it's decent (been about 3 years, still holding up).

yeah $2,000 is a good price. usually a good repaint will run between 2 and 3 grand. Don't expect show quality but it should be very nice for that price
