Whats the saying? If you have to ask you can't afford it? :D

If it's the pros doing it you might get out of it for 2-3k, but price goes up if it needs panel repairs.

it all dependds on what you want dione. if you need panel work done, the price will skyrocket, it also depends on what type of paint you want to use, 2pak or acrylic, be friendly with apainter and you could probably get away with it for around 1500- 2000

yep! that's my experience too...if you want AWESOME paint inside and out yer looking at around the $10,000 mark (depending on the amount of prep work that needs doing)...if yer car's a crap-sandwich and need alot of attention to the body $10,000 would be cheap...

if yer just doing the exterior (ie. not painting the engine bay or the interior) and are satisfied with the color it came in then you can get away with a couple of grand ($3000 give or take) but if you want it done inside and out and for it to be pretty much perfect yer getting into some serious money...as i've found out :) got a quote for between $14,000 and $25,000 for mine from a place up here...and i've been told its in pretty good nick...just talk to morphias about how much his set him back :)
