Default Paintiveng xB

I just got an xB and I was wondering how much it would cost to have it painted into the Blackberry Crush color?

Why didn't you buy a BBC? Painting the whole car is going to run you about $2500 or more from a good painter. If you're going to paint the car, why not go a custom color?

Yea... so you traded in your tC for the xB and aren't happy, and you didn't even get the color you wanted?

This is the weirdest topic I've read all day. Why would you buy a brand new car and NOT buy the color you wanted?

Too really do it right in high quality materials will likely cost in the $4000-6000 range or more (painting in engine compartment??). Remember that in order to do this right (like factory) the entire body must be dissassembled (doors, gate, fenders, bumpers, hood, etc. ) removed from the car and dissassembled for complete refinishing. Materials cost alone for quality sealer,paint,and clearcoat will run $600 or more (likely more).
