on average how much would a full color change be?doorjams, exterior engine bay, trunk, everything.

 

always depend on quality... maaco will do a ****ty job for like 500.... a real paint shop with a great job could go to 3000... depends on workmanship

My uncle owns a body shop he usually charges 4-5000 for a complete. depeniding on the type of paint color you will be changing to. a white paint job would be cheaper than a black paint job. if you go to Maaco or like a POS paint shop, you will not be happy. They do crap work. You get what you pay for!!

 

Exactly, you get what you pay for. My Dad's friend owns a place that charges outrageous amounts but does flawless work. Like most things in life................you get what you pay for.

 

Lets just say my friend went to a shop and paid $600 for a complete. they sprayed his tire on accedent, rim, emblems and radiator. then when he washed his car with high pressure water and the paint came off the bumper HA HA

 

ok lol, yea i would never bring my car to macco...but yea i got my subaru for cheap. i payed 13,000 for 02 wrb wrx with 50,000 miles on it cause it had some exterior blemishes. first the front bumper has a very big paint chip right under the headlight and the bottom driver side of the bumper has a big paintchip. the roof next to the passenger side door has a very big dent that would cost a lot to fix. a lot of small scratches and stuff like that. i hate when i get my car washed and it looks good but still its not as good as it could be. i really just want to get all the little dents and dings fixed and paint it either white or some kind of dark gray. so i would be looking at about 7 grand do get the body fixed up and painted right?

 

Exactly!.. but hey, it will look awesome once your done.

if you choose to keep it blue, why dont you just replace to bumper with an after market one and paint it wrb...and also get touch up paint for little scratches..

 

if you have 7k to spend... STEEL GRAY <-- teh winnar
