Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior Paint Job Cost?

Can any of you guys give me an estimate on how much it will cost to paint my entire car another color haven't decided on what color yet but just curious about the price

anyone know??

anywhere from 500 dollors to 10,000

but for a good one probably about 1,500 to 2000

Is that for a factory paint job where they paint everything, like the engine bay, door sills, etc?

To paint every part of the car( engine bay, door jams and the rest of the car) is going to be more than you'll want to spend. In most cases to paint the engine bay they have to remove the engine, at least to do a job worth payin for. I've heard quote as high as 5000k+ to do an avg. car, IMO thats not worth it.

get a turbo or sc for that $$$

I've had the Mitsubishi repainted for $300 from "1-Day Paint & Body" (Earl Schibe)... the paint looked good, but it was definitely NOT show quality in the detail department

I wanted the car painted - so they painted it for me... cannot be picky about that

It was a 1987 Mitsubishi Cordia... looks almost like 1986 Toyota Celica
