I have an over the phone/internet price of $6K. Going back original black car. Car to be painted inside and out with sealer on the bottom. Everything is ready to go. Completely stripped to shell. Says it will be ready in two weeks. Good price? What is the consensus?

A lot of paint shops don't like to see cars in primer since they don't know what's underneath...and the paint may not be very compatible. 6K seems low to me. The last time I paid for a cheap paint job it cost me a lot. My gut feeling is that anyone who says less than 10K these days either isn't a pro or has very different standards than most of us. Way easier to find a 2K maaco-type guy overcharging for his work, than a 12K guy discounting. Just my .02!

Example: 100 hours @ $50 per hour = $5K Paint Supplies Est'd = $3 or$4K That's a bare bones cheap rate by low end shops. I am told quality paint jobs, typically @ $15K to $20K (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Ask a lot of questions, before pulling the trigger.
