What is a reasonable price for getting my car paint changed from sterling silver to candy apple red. I am trying to get my car painted within the month. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Chris

 

I dunno but for a good paint job for a bumper it is a lot already. Well, more than $1,000. BTW, you sahould paint it white with a blue pearl tint.

 

well my dad owns a body shop and we do custom painting...candy apple red is not cheap. and if you want to do it right like paint the inside of the body and doors so when you open the door it wont be sterling mist. Youre looking at spending a good $3000-6000 depending on the shop. Candy apple is a very expensive color and hard to paint that requires many stages and the prep work isnt easy for an entire body color change. To be safe look to spend about $5000 if you want it done right.

in houston, kandy will cost a minimum 3500....up to 6000 depending on color and etc....

 

what if you want to get it changed from sunlit sand to black?

 

What about just a dark red with a pearl coat over

thanks for the help.

 

1) Red paint is the most expensive color to make/buy.

2) It takes more of it to cover the car because it doesn't cover as well as most other colors do.

3) Pear is another big $$$ adder to paint, it's real pearl powder and it's expensive.

4) The pearl is a third step in the paint process making it a 3 stage paint which is another adder.

5) Candy colors are a completely different ball game and are very expensive!

Pricing of between 3 and 5 thousand bucks, if not more, is definately reasonable.
