I'm finally getting my car painted, and here's the price the body shop gave me:

Now were talking a color change, gray to red.
$3500 includes:
Prep car- fix small dents, sand, new primer and sealer
Remove doors, paint door jamcs
Paint bottom of hood and most framework under the hood. (along fenders, above radiator)
Trim out hatch
Color wetsand and polish

The paint is 2 stage DuPont urethane basecoat clearcoat.

I saw the car after the prep work, door jams, hatch and under hood were done, and so far it looks damn good!

money to burn ay? why not get a car the color you want so you don't have to repaint every nook and cranny.

Possibly because he likes the car he has now? Just a thought. Are hot rodders suppose to go out and buy a black 35 Chevy cause there current one is blue but they want black?

HAHAHAHA an 86 SPORT COUPE isnt exactly a 35 chevy........ you could buy 15 (maybe more) sport coupes for the price of a 35 chevy

Im doing the same thing except my color is white to red. Damn teenagers smaked my rear quarter in the gas station parking lot. as what makes me even more mad it was just painted this summer! Oh well. Yea that sounds like a fair deal. Are you going to paint the ground effects another color?

The 86 Sport Coupes have no ground effects. Bu if your askin, the entire car is going to be red.

That price doesn't seem bad.

I'm planning to have my car repainted in the spring... I wish I could afford a paint job like that. I'm going to have to settle for real nice shiney blue on the outside... with flat nasty blue in the door jams and stuff..heh.. its not a show car or anything so I"m not too worried about it.

Mine was the same as yours, except black to red. Plus shaved antenna and cut to fight side markers for 2400. However, no wetsand or buff. Another guy around here offered to do it for 3300 same as above with wetsand and buff, but he also said it'd take alot longer than the other people.

Yeah they've had my car for about 3 weeks, but that doesn't matter when its not even registered. I sure am glad I decided to get the car painted when I had another car.

If it makes you feel any better, they told me two weeks, took 6 and struggled to get that 6 in. It was finished as they were closing that night.

My point still stands though. If he likes the car and want to keep it, paint the biatch instead of buying another the colour you want.
