$$ to paint entire car?
�
�
What is the average price to get a full body paint job for a WRX sedan? I know it must depend on the shop, but let's say I went to a small body shop (nothing commercial like Maaco), how much would it cost to get the entire car painted? I understand certain paint colors may cost more than others, so let's make it simple, how much would it cost to paint my WRB car black? Or grey?

Um, it depends, are you looking for an exterior job, or do you want everything taken apart (doors, motor pulled, etc.)? You're looking at a few thousand easy, I say.

door jams + exterior... you're looking easily at $1,500 +
Exterior + engine bay + interior + jams = $2,000+
Exterior + engine bay + interior + jams = $2,000+

In MA, I'd say about $3,500-$4,000 is the cheapest you'll find at a place you can trust.

MOB Works, a shop responsible for many of the front cover cars on the magazines; charge around 2,500 for full complete paint job, for standard, non kandy colors.
3.5k - 4.5k is a crap load for a standard paint job.

So is WRB considered a standard color?

Not really, it's a color they can order from subaru fine. Candy colors would be very special colors you find on some top end cars and those wierd ass multi color stuff that change from either temps, light, view etc etc. It can get pretty darn fancy.

I asked my uncle this just because I was curious too and he said for the whole car it's about $3000 and he works at a Cadillac dealer. I don't know what it consist of but that's the price he gave me.

I know a couple of shops around me charge more for black, its harder to do or something like that, and make sure you don't go to some cheap shop like fact-o-bake or macco, my friend did and the job was soo crappy, swirl marks, grinder marks, the red bleeding though from the old paint in a few small spots
on my 240 I was quoted at right shy of 3600 for the works [bay, jams, removed handles etc. etc.]

Listen to this guy, he has given you the best info yet.
I work at a custom body shop and IIRC full re-sprays start at around $3k This would include removal of all trim, bumpers, door handles, etc. Car is completely wetsanded, buffed. Tape lines are very carefully hidden as the door jambs wouldent be painted. your talking about 4k+ for jams painted as well (A lot more dissasembly, doors come off, trunk, etc). Color change (since it is even more of a pain, around 6k+. This doesnt even include any body work. The entire goal of a full respray including jambs, is to have zero tape lines, this is the difference between quality, and maaco.
I have seen numerous "show car" paint jobs that people have gotten for cheap. Frequently these look great in pictures.. or at about 10ft from the car. Unlesss you are getting one heck of a deal, that cheap price meant corners were cut somewhere.
I think if everyone understood how many hours/days or even weeks it takes to do a quality job, the reason why it costs so much would be undersood. Heck the shop can easily spend 2 days just wetsanding/buffing.

I was just quoted $2000 to repaint my STi Aspen White. It would be $2700 to change the color of it. This includes repainting EVERYTHING the new color (door jams, engine bay, etc.).
| Ayrton | 04-09-2006 08:20 PM |
You guys do understand that a total repaint will kill the value of the car?
| wrxin' | 04-09-2006 10:00 PM |
depends on where you go..........quoted 5500 for mine but that was to be painted silver flake basecoat and candy tangerine topcoat. it was the same guy that did my custom paint on my truck but i decided not to go with it.
I have a friend that has his own paintbooth at his house and does alot of sidework. he will paint any color i want and just charge me material as long as i help with the prep work and do his electrical work on his T-bucket.
one of these days ill take him up on it ;).

To be totally honest with you, it does really depend on the shop. For a full all out, take everything off paint job at a decent place don't spend more than $3k to $3500 (this being a normal paint color).....add $750 to $1K for custom paint
