John001 an average decent paint job should set you back about 2k depending on current condition of paint and if there is no rust or panel work required. My best advice is to shop around, check out the class of work going on in each shop and stick to your budget. That price should cover the body and door jambs. Engine bay could cost $500 - $800 extra. Pearl, metallic and chameleon effect paint will cost more. Remember as Antho said " you get what you pay for"

You mean to respray the whole car? Will cost about $2k. If you can be farked sanding the car down yourself you will save heaps of money.

John, he had the car for 3 weeks and he only did the outside .It does look good, but the whole car was immaculate before so he didn't have much prep work to do.
