Cost to repaint whole car? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

47AJV8 · 01-01-2013, 10:56 PM

I was wondering if anyone could give a price range for having the entire car repainted in a custom colour? (From a good/reputable shop of course) Thanks!

Im not a paint shop owner but your probably looking at around $6,000.00 just to shoot it. Custom colors can make that climb quickly. That is based off of experience with my local body shops. There are some out there that will do it cheaper but you have to get a good feel for a shop. Just because they have a hundred thousand dollar paint booth doesn't mean they can paint.

Just my .02

Anywhere from $6k to $10k, depending.

if your doing jambs and the engine bay and everything else which should be done for a custom color your looking in the 10-15 range

It would depend on your local shops and the competition. I have gotten quotes from 3 reputable places where I live. One said $7000, one said $8000, and one said $9000. This included engine bay, jams, trunk lid, etc and will be a complete color change.

Really depends on your budget, I know Jr's House of Color charges around $100k.

I'm gonna guess that you're not gonna go this route, but it's still gonna cost ya. Just make sure you get it done at a reputable shop, if you need to pay more to get it done right, it's worth it.

Depends. By custom do you mean an OEM 3-stage metallic paint or a on-of-a-kind only you will have it?

Funny, I just had my 2011 quoted to remove the rally stripes and paint new stripes up the nose-hood-roof-trunk. Cost $7800.

Wow, that sounds like a lot! I was quoted for hood, trunk, spoiler at 2,000.

You might consider a wrap.
