The cost of painting is cheap. The $$ is in the prep which I am guessing you will do yourself. Black being the hardest color to prep for might not come out as good as you hope.
The paint costs are as little as $300 but go up to include insde the doors and seals, more coats etc.
So you can spend $300 - $3000.Macco paint job price?
Maaco has cheap paint no doubt about that.... I believe their ';presidential'; offer starts at $199.00 I went to them years ago, they hit you pretty hard with prep if you didn't already do that... If you have the ability to prep it for paint it's not so bad in cost, but the paint is low quality, I made them fix quite a few spots that they had orange peel on and crud in the paint (and of course they fought me tooth %26amp; nail on fixing it as well) Bottom line: If you do all the prep yourself and get it smooth as can be (black shows every defect do a good job) They may be able to put a good layer of paint on it (no promises, you may have to make them fix it like I did) Also heard of another guy who went there once as well but with his classic, and at the last minute found a tiny little speck he should have sanded out... He didn't have any way to sand it out right then (probably would have taken a minute at most) so he slipped the worker a twenty and asked him to give that spot a quick once over before shooting it... The guy took his money and promised to take care of it... never happened, he was pissed. I really recommend going somewhere else reputable unless you are not looking for perfection and you just want the car to look a little better on a tight budget.
Depends on the condition of the car and the quality of the paint job. They have all kinds of options. Basic job is 260. Premium paint is around 1400. Be sure you do all the prep work (taping, decals, cleaning) yourself, or they charge big money.
I have had paint jobs form Macco in the past. The old saying holds true here; ';you get what you pay for.'; Their price is lower than most for a reason. Don't expect the best quality paint or workmanship here. Still not too bad for the price but if the car is fairly new, skip Macco.
good job? 600 to 1000..if you do prep... if they do it.1200 to2200...for great job 3000 on up....thats if car was black to start... for color switch add 500 to 1000..fo door jams/under hood/trunk etc...etc...
Depends on how good of a job you are looking for and what type of body repairs are needed.
I would say Between $450.00 to $1500.00 but I would go to an independent shop instead.
