I just payed 3K for a respray original colour with a gold pearl, all moulds and bumpers painted as well. Car was stripped by me but also needed a little bit of body work.

you will always pay for what you get unless its a good mate that can do it for mates rates and most 2pac resprays look good when there first done but the cheap ones always look s*** after about 12 months coz you shouldnt really paint over acrylic because it moves and 2pac dosent.
