Re-paint the entire car, what is the cost?

[SUS2K]

Hey guys,

I want to know how much it would cost to re-spray the entire car a different car? I got mixed feedback, some saying its around $700-1k, others are saying 2-3k.

Anyone know any good places where you can get it painted for a decent price and good quality around Sydney area.

Thanks

I'm not a professional painter but I have done/do my own. Any repainting requires (to do the job properly) removal of trim strips and the like which is time consuming and particularly essential when changing the colour. $700-1k is gonna get you a crappy job.

[TyD]

Because you will be going a different colour, you will need to take off all the doors, paint the inside of them, all the door jams, under the bonnet, engine bay etc. It's a pretty big job and I don't see you getting a decent job done for 3grand.

When you do a search you'll find some posts on here about average costs.

[stndrd]

Depends on if you give the painter your car stripped or still in one piece or not. But don't expect change from $3500 at a minimum

Use search or call places and ask for quotes. Lazy kunts.

[stndrd]

Ozhonda. The forum where everyone is to lazy to do anything

[mooshie]

Around $250-$300 per panel is generally a guide.

[HONDAPOWER234]

expensive, best to avoid a full respray. or if ur game enough DIY

how long is a piece of string

Just like putting that piece of string to a ruler to measure it's unknown length, take the car to a panel beater where they can tangibly assess it and give you a quote!

Best bit of advise yet. In this increasingly keyboard, txting internet world there are still some things you've got to get off your butt and physically do.

Lol yeah buddy

Heard $1500 for home jobs but that's just painting your car the same colour. Its Usually $3-4 grand If your spraying the whole car a different colour unless you make your car "Ready to be painted" So they don't need to charge you for sanding, prime etc.

To be cheap, just buy 2pac paint and DIY it ;).... ( illegal though )

I guess by illegal, you mean not done in a spray booth (SShhhhh, then, don't tell my neighbours)

No, it's actually toxic for YOU and your neighbour!

Lmao ... How many cans of spray paint do you think a DIY job would take? It's not like anyone can just pick up the art of spray painting a car! Seriously delirious! Bahahaha

[hmetro24]

Diy also mean you use a compressor and you do all the work by yourself. I have seen some one who sprayed his car with spray can, But he used too many cans. That's will cost too much money.

LOL LOL LOL I'm not ignorant to how DIY works it's just that you just can't say "Hey I want to respray my car" and go out and do it. People study and perfect the talent! I was being sarcastic! LOL

Not right, If you wanna learn anything in your life, you do it and you learn from your mistakes. Do some research for the basics and start from there. All these Uni, colleges, Tafe or whatever are Almost crap.
I am Painting my car By myself never sprayed anything in my life. But i know that I wanna learn how to spray paint. Also You will save too much money doing jobs by yourself.

[hondapop]

There is no easy way to learn to spray paint. There are many "instruction" videos on youtube, some are quite reasonable, others are useless. It will take many failures, if you try to teach yourself. You really do need some one on one training if you hope to learn reasonably quickly.

hmetro24 what about if you make mistakes that prove costly? I mean I'm all for self teaching, believe me I encourage as much growth as possible but it's not like it's an easy fix if something goes wrong. I mean professionals paint cars and wow a few months later their work turns up all messed up. Lucky for warranty service but do you get where I'm coming from? It's just a really expensive trial isn't it?

Mistakes, You do it again. Lets say paint cost me around 350$ include sand papers,block...
if you wanna take the car for a shop to paint it, it will cost you 1500$ easy. Also like eg, ek, is like waste of money to get High quality paint or painted in a shop.
First you start with small panels than go bigger, until you have confident.
What mistakes cost much money ???

Ooooooo very very nice! Well done babe looks awesome. :)

[amant02]

Red is my fav colour and normally reds is very cheeky colour.

Prices have ranged for me:
My em1 (1st try @ home)= $890 total cost paint sand paper primer etc etc renting the compressor and pot for the boys. It came out good but wavey on the sides looked good for what it cost me. But Im perfectionist.
2nd try on the em1 (professional tupac red) = $2200 - cheap as i didnt have dents or rust and i prep'd @ home.
My eg just got a quote professional milano red this time quoted 4.6K as its got a fair bit of dents and rust to fix. Doors closed btw cars red already.

[Mr Abzii]

[black8thgen]

What brand of paint does he use?

[curtis265]

painting like a boss hmetro!

I tried spray canning my lip like a boss and skimped out a bit on the prep - the old paint was a bit chipped so i sanded it enough to paint on.. and then did 3 coats of primer, 3 of colour and 2 of clear.

It's gone scaly :S but i laugh anyway cos we weren't serious about it
