Painting entire body?
 
how much would it cost to paint the entire body a different color? doesnt have to be THE top most professional job or anything.. just an estimate price.

why bother unless its done right. anyway, best bet is to go to a local body shop, and get quotes locally, as labor prices can vary greatly between different parts of the country.

I've been quoted about £3500 UKP over here - so thats about $5000 - but all depends on the bodyship as lurch says.

i got quoted 5000 ish with taking out a couple of door dings etc. in socal

that is really really high around here

bet you'd get a major discount if you remove the panels yourself (Ezzy ;))

turn out better too :) remove everthing but the roof I bet

for 5k you should get a awesome paint job
stay away from one day paint or maaco jobs that only cost 500 to 1k

you will need to remove alot of stuff for a proper full respray.....

if you know wht you are doing, it is fun pulling stuff off (but dont damage it...)

less bodyshop labour = cheap price

here are a couple of pix.... the rear windscreen came off a day after :yesnod:
