Materials alone will be a huge part in a paint quote. What color do you want the car? The color will affect the price as well due to the amount of body prep. A white car will have a lot less blocking than a black car.

Id also advise going to quite a few shows and ask people who painted their car. You will see paint jobs all over the map. Find one you like and get the painters #



Oh and one more thing. DO NOT PAINT BEFORE TRIAL ASSEMBLY/FITMENT !!!! I made this mistake and Im kicking my own ass everyday. It added more money onto my build because I have had to repaint stuff twice.

Build whole car, prep, tear apart, paint, then reassemble whole car.

Amen brother
