Paint jobs for cars go like this. If you want an "okay at best" job done where some dude out of high school sprays your car without removing panels, you're looking at around $3,000 or so.

For a top notch, perfectionists perfection, with removing all the panels and getting them from all angles, and not a flaw to be found, you are looking at around $10,000-$12,000.

And then there are places that do in between for an in between cost.

This is all of coarse with the shop doing all the work. If you plan on doing all, or some of the prep work, the price will go down drastically as most of the cost of a paint job is in the time invested with the prep work, not the actual paint or materials.

Absolute best place for the money in Jersey I have heard about, as well as have had experience with (they repaired, and painted my wifes bumper on our Civic), is Bill's Auto Body in Jobstown. Bill is a great guy to work with, and will do a near perfection job, and costs A TON less than anywhere else as his labor rates are much lower which he extends the savings on to you.
