jon, or anyone else, do you know how much it is per size? Dan how much are you looking to paint? i am honestly thinking of having the whole outside resprayed so it matches best and so i can work out the little door dings and such. Jesse do you know around how much that place would charge? i cant afford a thousand dollar paint job... lol.

if enough people with WRB stuff need paintwork we may be able to get a group buy for both the paint an the work so if you have interest speak up.

^^^I payed 2800 but thats with a color change. Since you are keeping the same color and doing more of a match I would say it would be a lot less. Now also keep in mind price will also vary with how much body work you want done. I would say talk to him in person and bring your car for the best estimate. I would hate to quote you and be wrong. Also my car repainted at other shops around the island would have cost me in the 5g's neighborhood.

We actually don't do complete's here at our shop, but for a good job, it typically runs anywhere from about $2500 and up. That usually involves de-trimming the car and such. Keep in mind, not all places charge the same, and you can still get a good job for less than that amount, but on the same token, every estimate I've written for a customer asking for a complete was over $3500 with very minor body work.

i plan to do all or most of the prep work myself including the minor body work, sanding and removal of said trim and whatever else is required. im not looking to drop it off at a shop and have them do everything, i am more interested in finding someone to do the paint work only.
