Default paint job

hey everyone hope u all doing well.

was looking at getting a new paint job for the car. a whole new colour red with gold glitter . i know i have a few scratches (ask darren he will tell ya hehe) but when i got a quote back from the panel and paint shop it came to $19,000 does that sound right at all? or are they ripping me off.

is there anyone here know any good spray painters

thanks heaps

I am guessing you meant $1,900 not $19,000. $19,000 might be a bit rich $1,900 could be a bit light on for a quality job. When in doubt get a few quotes.

a good job inside out will cost around $9 to $12k

a respray same colour is about $3-$5k

that price is a bit rich.

let's face it, you gonna get stone chips no more than 6mths after you resprayed your car anyway (unless you plan not to drive it except for shows), so to spend $19k and then have to do it again after maybe couple of years i think that's stupid (regardless how much money you have)

$8k should get you a very professional job, $5k for a half decent one.
