How much does a worthy paint commission cost ?

Buying a used car for the wife but she desires a different color. How much should I budget for a good paint living from a reputable garage ? Any recommended paint shops ?

Buying a Car On Craigs List.. does...



Answers:    Recommended paint-shops ? I'd check your LOCAL Chamber of Commerce / Better Business Bureau / Yahoo! Local.

I've seen the paint job run from $200 (budget) to $650+ for GOOD basic paint chore.

When I was younger and be buying used cars... I'd save money by doing as MUCH of the prep-work as possible myself !! Time-consuming and labor intensive YES, but save lots of $$'s!! Filling Dings, Killing Rust, and doing the wet-sanding and primer.

YES, folks laughed at my saloon which was a giraffe of primer and bondo spots for 2 months, and later all primer for a month... but later my 1972 VW Dasher was a elegant Jaguar Green !!

I HOPE others can give you better information.
