Default how much to repaint the whole stang?

Im just wondering how much to you guys think a bodyshop would charge me to repaint the whole car and cover the holes left by the roush spoiler. I want to go with a delete spoiler or a ducktail spoiler. should i get a price with a bodyshop or from dealership?My stang its 06 satin silver. Thanks

If you want a PRO job done and the entire car? Figure at LEAST 4-6 grand. Yes it's crazy expensive. But you don't want a MAACO paint job.

If you already going that far, why not go something custom. Two tone or whatever you like. I would keep the base color the same but why not add a little bit extra to it like black on top which is fairly easy to do. Throw a little pin stripe inbetween. Either that or if your into stripes maybe have those painted on at the same time. But to get the entire car redone like said above Would be a minimum of 3500$ and up to $7500. Depends on the area, quality, bodyshop, and your preference.

If you want to have door jams, trunk, under the hood, etc. left alone you can knock off some of the cost. But it's still going to be spendy to have the job done properly.

Default Hey

I did a color change on my 91 GT from Green to Vibrant Red.
Cost $4700....and it wasn't perfect.

This is a question for Pascal and you can ask him exactly what you would like done and he will give you a fair #. Obviously you arent going to send your car from Cali to Florida but you will get a good idea what to expect.

4 Grands is a minimum...
Mostly because you have to take everything that you can, off the car.
Bumpers and hood. Also all the little stuff like door handles, window belts, trim etc...
Time consuming but necessary in order to do a good job.
If you go into the jambs, trunk and engine bay because of color change, you can expect almost double. Yikes!

The engine bay will never be right either, unless you yank the motor out.
But who wants to do that!

My advice to you is, redo the quarters and trunk lid because of them holes and spend your money on other things. You'll still have a pretty car.
Good luck.
