How often for good paint jobs custom car? as one of the 97 'Eclipse or 2003 Chrysler Sebring. As a black or red. I was quoted a time line for 2500. Are there cheaper places?
The cost of a paint job will be based on the amount of preparatory work is necessary. Unless the car is well prepared, and all the bumps and scratches Dings fixed the paint job will not be pretty.
You can get a "wear and shoot" type paint job for a few hundred dollars, and all the defects in the vehicle stand out. You could spend tens of thousands of dollars on a system of custom painting.
Any quotation given without seeing the car will not be accurate.
If you mean custom .. by a single color, no color or airbrush or something like that, while cheap, you can simply go to MAACO. If you do not need any body work done but you want a custom color (other than the color of plant), they can charge you $ 1,000 or less. Or if you feel that you can do yourself for about $ 300. I change the color of my car as I change my underwear haha. You only need a compressor, a pistol, and paint (and primer, reducers, light) if you can find someone in their yard to do it, better yet, hit up Napa or in a place like the one with the painting, then have someone else do it, its a lot cheaper this way.
A good paint job will cost $ 4,000 more for a factory looking finish.
