Default I've done it before for an integra...

With bodywork and color swap..
it was about $7000-$8000 easily..

for this car.. if you want it done right..
I'm sure it would be a bit more...
Just don't go to Maaco..

Default If you don't have to re-do the door jams and under the trunk etc.

Then a decent paint job really shouldn't run you more than $3500.

Its quality-dependant. Former for a "ok" job. Latter for an excellent job.

Default George is right.. it was a show car quality paint job.. everything except for engine bay..

Anybody can tell from a $3500 vs $8000 paint job..
Proper prepping and the amt of coats makes the
biggest difference..

Earl Scrieb can paint any car for $189.00. Of course, masking the glass is extra :-)
