completely depends on the body shop or painter doing it a maaco paint job could likely be had for 500-800 dollars materials itself would likely be under 500 dollars if you were doing it yourself. A good paint job from a respectable bodyshop would probably be around a grand i would assume ... you get what you pay for and with maaco you get crap....also amolst forgot depends what your looking for ... if you have a pink car you want black thats that grand i was talking about .... if your going for show car candy, flamed, color shift, amazing, somehow otherwise rediculous your looking for much much higher ...
