I have DuPont hot hues on the car now and am happy with the quality, just not the 2 tone colors.
After going over the car once again in writing..the cost jumped from $7k to 10K. Wow..maybe I should of lived with the 2 tone after all. Is this a halfway normal price for getting paint job that requires no body work. Just a disassemble, paint & reassemble. He said that this car is so nice that he wants to take his time with it and it could take about 3-4 weeks.

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".

3-4 weeks is pretty quick unless he's solely working on that car. Some guys are focused though. Just don't pay for anything but materials up front.

Yeah I wish It was 3-4 weeks. Its going on almost 3 months now. Finally getting ready for some paint. I decided on a gunmetal grey called grigio silverstone. Here's some pic's of it getting prep'd.

Great choice of color. Huge improvement in my opinion.
So what was the final cost, if you don't mind sharing?
