Just wondering if anyone knows hwo much to get an EVO repainted a diff color? And obviously by a porfessional, A+ job type. Tks

 

Too much. Just sell it and get the color you want.

 

If you are seriously considering an A+ paint job...you can easily reach, if not start at, $10,000. I had a FORD '66 Mustang GT Coupe, repainted in FORD candy apple red for around $7,500. It was killer and mirror quality finish but I had prepped the car myself to save some $$; i.e. removal of all trim and bumpers, tapped off engine and all under carriate parts, etc....The shop told me it would have been around $1,000 to have it prepped by the painter........it can get very costly my friend.

 

A guy I know has a 10k paint job on his cavi, so they can get up there.

 

MAACO.......they do A+ for cheap looking job, but a truly nice paint job costing at least $8000. then you have to consider the paint and any details you may want. I say go with House of Color paint.

 

House of color for vivid bright *** grab your ***** colors or PPG for extreme durabulity for years and years if taken care of..

 

All depends on the quality you want. A total custom job will get expensive.

 

I would say starting at 4k. But if you do jams, and engine bay to change color another 2k. Painting can get very expensive. As someone else said, buy the color you want.

 

If you keep the car the same color it wont be bad.

 

yea, i was recently looking at getting my 240sx repainted, because some immigrant back into me. So as i went shop hunting, one of the girls working in the office tells me and my father we only use "quality" paints and giving us all this mambo jumbo. so then we go ok how much for a lexus is300 mettalic grey paint job. she qoutes up damn near $8000. me and pops just ran off and started laughing. the damn car isnt even worth that much money.

 

Paint it self is very pricey $ All the materail are going up in price , A simple gallon of PPG paint in say a RED 2 stage paint such as RR on the evo is close to $400 a gallon , white is cheaper ,and thats just the paint , you need still Sealer and clear and reducer, harndner, but to do a very nice re shoot on a car , the door's and everything will have to come off.

 

Read a book...do it yourself. I knew s h i t on painting cars, as I probably do about anything, until I educate myself...one task at a time.
