I'm not sure if this is the right forum section, but I was wondering if maybe you guys could tell me how much this paintjob owuld cost for my car:
Completely sanded down to bare metal on the engine compartment and the doors and then shot with primer.
The whole car (except the part the nobody sees under the interior carpet) including doors, engine compartment, and everything else will be painted a deep balck. I'm not sure on te exact black yet, but it won't be metallic. A few good coats of that.
Some clearcoat to protect the finish. I'll do however many coats is needed to protect well and look good. But I don't want to go completely overboard.
That it! The car is an '86 Camaro. I would be removing the engine/tranny my self, all the exterior parts will also be removed by me (trim, lights, etc.) and the door panels will also be removed. I decided not to paint the floor of the car since no one ever sees it and it seems like a lot of work to remove the interior, and it'd be more $$$ to paint it. Anyways, I was wondering how much you guys think this would cost at a typical apintshop. Not a Maaco, but your average collision center place or any where else that paints cars. Also, if you guys could give me an estimate on if I were to do all the sanding and prep work and primer myself and then have the paintshop just apint it black. I'd appreciate that too. :)
Thanks. :)
