Paint
« on: October 16, 2016 - 10:34:09 PM »
What would be an average price to have a few dents removed and have the car recited in Rallye red?

I would expect $10-15k depending on body work.

 :iagree:

for example :
my materials for me to do it myself using top shelf products cost me  $3000,   so add on  40 hours labor  $3200  @$80 an hour  ,  plus profit  and  warrantying there work , i.e  delamination  etc......   $10k   is a tight number  but realistic  for non show quality paint and minor ding repair .   in nj area    :2cents:

I know this is may not be what your looking for quality wise but I was at what is considered one of Huntsville's better body shops in my old '98-GT and ask the guy to gimme a quick oral estimate on some extremely light body repair & to respray the entire car about two years ago,,He said 3-3.5K which is about what the car would be worth after the paint job....

Heck don't you live near Sand Mountain?....

Dude there's probably more body & paint outfits on Sand Mtn. per square mile than about any place.
Talk around to folks & see if they don't know someone in the business...

Met a lot of car guys back in the 90's that would go for the Maaco paint job at $500 and tell them to put it on thick. They figured the booths were clean from constant use and all they had to do was color sand and buff the imperfections when they got the car home.
