Question about paint

nandosman · 12-02-2017, 07:38 PM

Say that I were to buy a whole body kit, like the Amuse one, and a CF hood, and front fenders. I would have to paint those anyway.

So my question is, leaving all that cost aside, if I wanted to change the color of my car, how expensive would it be to paint the remaining pieces?

I have read somewhere here before that a really good paint work on the car can be around $5k to $10k. I'm guessing that's for the full thing.

When I did my conversion and asked about a new paint job I was told to budget at least 600 per panel for good measure.

Liquid dip is much, much, much cheaper and looks just as nice imo or even a wrap is cheaper and if you don't like it after a while you can just take it off.
