How much does a paint job cost for a Pontiac Firebird?

Or how much do you THINK it will cost? Ive never gotten a paint job before so I'm not sure. I just plan on painting it black or torquise. The original color is torquise btw. Thanks!

    You can get it as cheap as $500 which will hold up for a couple of years but it will not look good unless your 10 feet away. A good paint job will cost around $5,000 if your car body has no problems. This paint job will make your car stand out because the color will be deep and rich due to giving the car 3 - 5 coats of paint. You can get an okay paint job for $1,500 or cheaper if you take off all the stuff that needs to be off the car in order to paint it the right way. The paint shop must have a drive in oven to bake the paint to give it a great look. Make them show you the oven it is just a large metal box with windows that you drive your car inside to paint in 0 to 3 percent humidity which will make your paint smoother and then heat up to seal your paint. Remember if something sounds to good to be true it probably is. Try to find someone who paints cars for a living the dealerships I worked at allowed the techs to work off the clock on the weekend so they would make extra money. You would then be able to get that $5,000 paint job for $900 or a little more. Good luck!!

    Depending on the work involved to get the car ready and the type of paint you use, this job can run from about 400 bucks to well over a couple of thousand. There is a wide variety of paints out there and just the materials alone are over a hundred dollars for a two part epoxy mix.

    A "Good" paint job with a "Great" warranty including painting the everything from the door jams, under the hood and in the trunk plus removing all of the emblems around $3500.00 dollars. Just painting the car without doing the above around $1000.00 dollars.

    How much body work does it need? Black will show every ripple or ding dent.

    You can get a Maaco quicky for about 500, or .... anything up to 20,000

    Quality wise, you get what you pay for. Probably looking at 2,500 or so

    Ok it all depends on where you go some places if you go Maaco they offer it for under 199$ so if you go to a regular shop it could cost over 299$ so it all depends on where you would like to go
