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.

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
