I'd like to get an idea on how much other members are paying to get a car painted? I was just looking at getting my repainted stock black but would also like to know what some members have paid to have custom work done. Post pics if you have them.

i got quoted to get mine repainted stock black as well .. was about 2k
Usually a stock repaint will run you between $2,000-$3500 depending on the shop. When you start talking about custom jobs, it can vary depending on what you want done. I've got a friend who had his fox painted black with a 2 stage flame job (yellow flames with orange flames over them) The total was like $9500 or something like that. I'll have to see if I have a pic of that for ya.
well for my dads project car, its was around 13k
but that wasnt just a repaint and may i add that the paint is perfect

99 bucks bro!
But seriously, it depends on how nice a paint job you want. 2-3k is probably what you'll end up paying.

There used to be a place around here called Earl Shibes (or something like that) They had a shop in Chicago that was almost a drive thru paint shop. I swear they drove the cars thru with the windshield wipers on. I drove by lots of times to see people out there with cans of paint thinner wiping the paint off the windows and headlights. :lol1:
But to answer the OP's question, yes, for $3,000 you should be able to get a very nice repaint. :beer:
For 3k you think you just drive it in come back and shazaam. Or do you need to remove headlights, hood scoops, side vents...etc?
for a good job, you're looking at 4-6k depending on how many chips and dings you have. I know that I was quoted 500 just for my hood because of my chips in the front. A pant job like this however, would be perfect and look better than factory (not that that's too hard 
)
)I know a guy who owns a body shop and he did some fender work for my brother for $175. The lowest he was quoted anywher else was $450. So hopefully I can get it done for under 2k. Maybe I could even get a custom color.
In '06 I had my car repainted in it's stock color- $3495.00. It had no dings and the trim and stuff were removed. Took about 4 weeks to have it done. And the car looks awesome.
You will not get a custom color for under 2k. How much it will cost will depend on how good a job you want done. A good quality paint job, of the same color, where they take the lights, mirrors, and badges off will run you around 4-5k. anything less that that, they are cutting corners and doing a less than quality job IN MY OPINION
i work at a shop and to do the same color with out painting door jambs we charge around 3 grand usually. but take into account body work its more around 4 grand. for an all over color change your looking at 5 to 10 grand on average and can be more then that.
The quality of job will dictate the price.
expect 3k-6k if you want a nice job done. my dad is in the paint business. in materials alone to do a whole car it is around $1000.
Or you could just paint it with a roller and get the same results for significantly less.
