hey guys i was wondering how much it would be about from a good shop to paint the door jams engine bay and exterior the same as the factory color, or at least in the same color, maybe a darker shade

and then how much would it be to completely strip the car and get the entire chassis sprayed a new color?

thanks guys in advance

For a complete respray, painting the car the same color without repainting the inside, door jambs or any of that will run you $3500-4500 where I live.
But it may be cheaper if you don't have any interior in your car at the time. (as if you are restoring a car)

I would say quite a lot more. I couldn't give you a specific estimate. Sorry. Maybe someone that works at a body shop can chime in.

red is considerably more expensive then black.

lol well if you keep it black and want to do everything on the car fix what ever needs fixing, if the surrounding clear is still good no need to base over it just blend the base and coat the rest of the car with clear.
