:tup: All good advice. Nice work by those guys too. General Info for All: Ballpark for touch-up is 250-500 PER panel, PERIOD. That should be prep, spray, and buff. That is WITHOUT blending. Add another 250-500 PER panel to any panel that is blended. A Whole car Painted from bare metal or even just a re-spray/clear is 2000+. You save nothing by wanting a fresh coat of color and re-clear. Material costs are going up as is everything. The “Simple” paint jobs will still land you in the 900 range just in materials on a WHOLE car. Primer, paint, clear, activator, etc… So realistically you will never get a whole car finished under 2K in the Yellow Pages. Hopefully you can get a deal or you happen to get a NYSpeed referral and hook-up 🙂 Goodluck. ---

3000+ Don’t really see the point of respraying the car another color its not cost effective… ---

paint is expensive too… 1pt+reducer, 1pt of clear and hardener from napa with a shop discount was 96$. Brian ---

A cheaper repaint would ruin the re sale of this car…something you might want to take into consideration… [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/cost-to-have-a-car-painted/49042.md?page=1)
