walsh_dw Report post Posted August 24, 2017 Has anyone gone for a complete exterior paint job?? I'm curious to know what it would cost. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PrinzII Report post Posted August 24, 2017 Color? Is it White Platinum? if so, expect increased costs as that is a 3 stage paint job (basecoat, pearl, clear coat) What year? Part of the cost will be how many gallons of paint will be required. I would roughly say 3-4. Will this be a show quality paint job or an Earl Scheib/Maaco Special? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IWRBB Report post Posted August 24, 2017 Anywhere from $500 to $10,000. Are you trying to re-paint it to sell it? Then hit up Maaco and do it on the cheap. If you plan to keep it a long time- I'd guess you are looking at a minimum of $3,000 for a quality paint job in the OEM color. Just the paint, filler, sandpaper, tape, masking, and cleanup chemicals add up real quick. A color change will drive the cost way up if you want the jambs to match. The one vehicle I had re-painted was a cheap Maaco job 20 years ago. I pulled as much trim as I could before I took it to them- head and tail lights, wipers, mirrors etc. It held up pretty damn good considering it was only $350. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
