saving my money to get the maro painted this winter/ next spring if i do end up keeping it, i was wondering what a decent paint job would cost me, prob looking at just going with the stock color.

When I painted Ben's car the two-tone scheme it had before the hailstorm destroyed it, I think the materials cost a little over $700. I didn't charge him labor, but I would guess that for a reputable shop to paint the car, it will probably cost a couple thousand for just a respray in the stock color. You should talk to Pace, I think he can do that kind of work for you.

$2900.00 for my buddy to have his 3rd gen firebird painted by a body shop.
Painted red over the stock red.

depends on color and complexity but i think around 3K is about the average. If your not doing a color change it would be cheaper.

Mine costs close to 4k for a whole repaint to the original color.

Whatever you do, DO NOT get/use OMNI paint.

[kammi10]

yeah depending on what quality stuff you use it'll be between 3-5k for a good paint job

Why? My dad and I have used it on several things and it works great. It's all about proper prep work. My whole Sonoma was repainted in it and it still looks great 4 years later.

I would call the guy thats doing my Maro - his name is Paul Crouch 313.350.9958

Aren't you selling that car, Freddy?

eek, the whole car needs to be repainted? Id just have the bad areas done otherwise, doesnt seem like it would be worth it for a 12 year old car to have 3-5k into it, can buy another z for that much.

Why add paint when you could add a procharger?

Amen.
