The paint job on my Brother in laws Camaro was 18K --- with some minor bodywork -- and all trim removed etc - but was not a color change even though all the jambs etc got shot. His car looks fantastic -- and includes a Mitch Kim silver leaf paint separation...


I'd want my car to be painted with the EXACT same brand/system that the car already has if it's not going to bare metal ---- because the last thing I'd want to have down the road is a compatibility issue.

The paint cost is probably 3K at least in materials -- and the rest is labor... so depending on the labor rate -- 11K sounds about right to me for a scuff and shoot. My guess is though -- once the car is in the shop and torn apart -- the price takes another jump "because we found such and such".
