Default Two tone paint

Curious if anybody knows how much a two tone paint job would be (foose style). I think black would look good with my orange. Black on top or bottom? I am going with black gt wheels too.

Thats about as ambiguous as asking how much do a pair of shoes cost? The answer is that it completely depends on just about everything. Who paints its, what kind of paint is used, are they fixing dings dents etc, are the repainting the whole car etc. etc. A paint job can cost anywhere from $300(maaco special)to $10,000(top of the line custom job). What I would say is you could probably double the price of a normal paint job.Paint runs anywhere from about $100 a gallon to $400 or $500 a gallon. Then you add in primer, clear coat, tape, sand paper, masking paper, blah blah blah. However, you are doing a paint job that will require alot more labor andquite a bit more material. I would make sure and check around with local companies and get references and find out about their warranty policies.IfI had to guessI would say somewhere in the neighborhood of $1500 to $2000 for a decent job. If they begin fixing dings and dents then that price will jump up pretty quick. However, if you are looking to paint the car then you might as well eat the cost and get any dents fixed too. Trust me if you paint it and don't fix the dents then everytime you wash it those small dime size dents will look like craters on that new paint.

It definately depends on where you live. In Washington, a paint job like that would be about 7 or 8k, done well. In Texas it would be more like 4 or 5k.

That would look very nice though.
