Default New Paint Job Question...

So if I was to get a new paintjob for my car, I was thinking about getting the Le Mans Sunset colour (Orangish) that the 350z's offers... Does anyone know a ballpark price that it would take for someone to do the full car and the grey dash part inside? I know it varies from garage to garage, but I have someone down the street from me who's a good highschool friend(he repainted my tC when my mom backed into it with the truck and destroyed my front end, you wouldn't even know I got in an accident if I didn't tell you, he did a really awesome job) of my parents so I might get some kind of deal out of him. But does anyone know how much the paint would cost roughly for the car? I've been trying to find it but I can't really seem to get a pinpoint price online on how much the paint would cost. thanks.

Just a sample of what the paint looks like

thats a nice color. but dont you think you could get the best estimate by going to the guy that painted your car when you got in the accident and asking him for an estimate. they could run labor, and paint in their computers and print it out for you as an estimate.

That's true but I've never seen the guy without a job going, so I don't really want to bug him, although I guess thats what you gotta to do figure out when to get your car into him. But I got a lot of other people around that could do it too but I was just wondering a rough estimate if anyone knew. My friend said it would be around 1000 dollars so I'm not sure, I've heard lower and higher than that as well...

Matt I have a custom shop in Knoxville Tennessee an all over paint job with color change would run you around 3500.00 to 4000.00 depending on if you wanted to do the door jam's and engine bay. I have a 2006 TC that we painted with the same 350z orange but we two toned it keeping the silver on top so we wouldn't have to do the engine bay. It has a widy body kit and sit's on a set of axis mod 19" 9.5 in the front and 10.5 in the back.

Like 1phat_tc said, 3500-4000 for a good paint job.

That 1k for a job would be a steal if it was done perfectly!

it all depends on the quality of paint, quality of clear coating, exterior or a whole car painted, etc etc...

it can cost anywhere from 700-10000
