I am currently in the process of pulling my car outta storage and giving it a little tlc. Shortly before i garaged it I had somebody back into it and put their trailer hitch right through the nose of the bird. She is gonna need a new front fascia and a repaint as well. Seeing as how the car is ten years old now and even though most of the paint is in pretty good condition i think i am gonna take it have the whole car repainted. My question is how much should i expect to pay for a repaint at a reputable shop and also does anyone have any suggestions about where to go in north-eastern florida? Thanks guys.

a lot of it depends on how much prep work the shop has to do, sanding/priming etc... so if you have a little "know-how" then it helps a lot. the quality of the paint job can determine the price as well. have you ever seen those classic cars at a car show that look like they have like 1/4 inch of paint on em? >$5000. color also has a factor: Black or white paint will be cheaper than ..say... deep metallic purple i'm guessing like under $1000-Ryan-

if you prep the car yourself...masking, removing pieces/trim...that helps with the cost and quality of the job. They know you're dead serious and probably appreciate the prep work. Some shops would cut the cost if you remove the from and rear facsias and remove the taillamp and reflectors...do the most that you can do yourself.
Doing this will reduce your cost and a piece of mind knowing they aren't gonna spray color on something that suppose to be black or shouldnt have paint on it....like your muffler or wheel wells.
