Complete repaint price?

Hey guys, I plan on painting my Evo in the future and was just wondering how much it would set me back to get the whole car painted. The color of the Evo MR looks too good to pass on and the current paint on my Evo sucks.

Thanks!

I'd say around $4-$8K, including painting the engine bay, trunk, door jambs, etc.

my job was 8k actually 7800 but close enough that was for the sherwin-williams multi-tone. average good paint job, all jams, trunk, hood, fenders up the engine bay downside about 5k.

Did your paint job cost more because of the multi-tone color you chose?

HA! Thats pretty lazy!

About the paint- depending on your insurance company, you can get your car repainted and claim it as an "act of God". Wind damage=act of God. I'm getting my whole front end repainted, mirrors and sideskirts repainted, and windsheild + headlights replaced. In the end it will only cost me the $500.00 deductable.

So I don't think he can help you with that.

ya and in england its about 10k... its all exchange rates, but the price of the stuff is 431 a pint and to do a PROPER job on an EVO (jams, engine bay, trunk, panels, undersiding the skirts, and several thick coats you need 6 pints. so do the math, thats 2600 just in paint.
