$400.00 to $2000.00 where are you gettin work. I work as a painter at a restoration and collision shop and a complete paint job includeing a color change is around $5000.00 - 7000.00 Now their is places that will do it for a grand but the quality sucks. I know for me to paint a complete just the paint is about a grand.

Agreed. I run a collision center and those numbers are accurate. It takes a lot of work and a lot of high quality materials to make a paint job look good.

People don't understand how expensive materials are or what it takes to do things right.

yeah it all depends on who you go to, what type of paint and etc. there are many factors. My friend spent $1500 for the paint and labor for the body kit of his rx8.
