Painting a car a different color?
I am buying a 1967 Impala to restore. There is some repairs to do to the car to make it look better such as getting it completely repainted.
It still has its original paint without touch ups but its showing its age.
The original color is a light blue but I am thinking on getting it painted “Tuxedo Black” when I am done fixing it up.
I don’t care about the matching codes or anything like that. I just care about it looking good.
Howmuch would it be to get the car painted completely so it looks like it was always black? Would it cost less (and howmuch roughly) if I do alot of prep work myself? Such as sand blasting the paint off, removing trimming and so on?
anything you can do will save you a little money as thats not time being charged by the body shop, you want to change colors so that will cost you extra as there is a lot more work involved, if all they have to do is prime it and shoot it with color your probably looking at $3,500 to get it done but it all depends on the body shop and what their rates are, I just had my 67 chevelle painted last summer and they had to install a new quarter and wheel well and part of the trunk and a patch on the drivers fender and it was repainted black after they stripped it to bare metal and my total bill was around $6,500.
To prime or not to prime? Diecast car painting
