View Full Version : How much would you pay for paint???? crazy8 02-03-2009, 01:05 AM Hey guys, my car has a few door dings here and there and a shortish key mark as well as a shadow dent on the hood. How much would you guys pay for a little body work and paint (the same color calypso red)? I don't need show room quality but something that will look descent and last a little while. thanks. TxGR8White 02-03-2009, 01:25 AM I paid $2100 for a complete repaint, but I disassembled the car for the painter, and then reassembled it. If you are having someone do that you would be looking in the neighborhood of at least $5000 (especially up there in the Bay Area...) moomba 02-03-2009, 03:47 PM crazy8, where in the Bay area are you? ak5 02-03-2009, 03:50 PM I paid $650 for a complete repaint of a 528i... need to prep and disassemble yourself. No its not maaco Iamnotkento 02-03-2009, 07:05 PM ^ Well thats a good hookup, if they did it right. crazy8 02-03-2009, 09:19 PM Cool, yeah im getting a quote by a local shop who seems to do pretty nice work on thursday. i just wanted to make sure i wasn't getting screwed. sounds like taking stuff off is the way to go. crazy8, where in the Bay area are you?
