depends on what body shop u would want to go to and what pieces need to get painted. the body shop my friends up north go to is expensive but they do do some of the best work around. ill get the name for you when i talk to him. check my profile on aim and youll see a link to my old car he repainted..that guy does some KILLER WORK

You can get 20 ounce spray cans at San Leandro Color for under $20 including tax. That's what I used for my eyelids and temp fix on my rear lips for the center exit exhaust mod.

hmm. i'd like to have non spray paint that way it's more consistent but hmmm. maybe a gallon for everything? or less? i have no idea how much i'd need. i'm painting the front grill , the speedo housing , the speaker grills , the center dash , the oh ____ handles , the door pulls , the window control switches. and a whole lot. check my profile .

One quart of everything (primer, color, clear, activator and such) costs me almost $200. And that was for PPG stuff. It matched almost perfectly except the the metallic in the PPG paint was smaller than the factory.
