Paint jobs that are quality are generally costly. You get what you pay for. You can save money by doing most of the removal and prep work yourself, then have a shop do the spray. Just make sure you get the agreement with the shop ahead of time.

What it costs depends on what you are willing to pay for. Maaco can do a color swap for under 1k bucks...but got get it done right can cost you over 5k. Color changes get expensive when you get all the door jambs,rear tailgate,under hood and fender wells. Go to several different paint shops and get estimates.

or im not to sure of it, but have seen it done. Get a wrap. Like a sticker. (not really, but cant think of whats its really called) Ive seen a bmw w/ a flat black job done. Looked good. Maybe someone can chime in. I dont think its thousands of bucks for it, but could be wrong.

never thought of that either. i dont figure it being more than 800 or so, might be wrong. after all it is just a huge vinyl sticker.

Exactly, and if you get tired of it, or dont like it, just take it off and good ol paint is back and still in good condition. At least you wont have to worry about scratches so much. lol. unless they scratch the sticker off. lol

I don't know about the peeling it off part? Its a permanent solution. The paint underneath would be ruined. They will run you right around $1000.00.
