Define good. Paint jobs can run from $99.95 "I'll paint any car any color" (Earl Shives slogan in Atlanta) to several thousand dollars.Originally posted by SAVAGE F-BODY2002 Electron Blue Vette, 1SC, FE3/Z51, G92 3.15 gears, 308.9 RWHP 321.7 RWTQ (before any mods), SLP headers, Z06 exhaust, MSD Ignition Wires, AC Delco Iridium Spark Plugs, 160 t-stat, lots of ECM tuning

Oh yea. He's been here since the 1950s. They'll paint over anything from chrome bumpers to emblems to bugs.Originally posted by 95z282002 Electron Blue Vette, 1SC, FE3/Z51, G92 3.15 gears, 308.9 RWHP 321.7 RWTQ (before any mods), SLP headers, Z06 exhaust, MSD Ignition Wires, AC Delco Iridium Spark Plugs, 160 t-stat, lots of ECM tuning

Funny but true. Actually Earl Shrives $300 jobby isn't too bad if you are really on a budget.Originally posted by Jeff 95 Z28
For a complete QUALITY paintjob that includes the door jambs and all adjacent body panels you are looking at roughly 2k - 2.5k. The extent of the prep, number of coats of clear, and the extent of the cut and buff process will dictate final cost.Comment

I am looking to get my vert painted in the spring.. I am budgeting 3K and HOPEING that covers it considering my front end needs a bit of work as well.. ie: headlight header is broke and the fender doesn't line up with the bumper cover quite right..

If anyone in New England is looking for a great paint job, I would recommend Matt Kozak at Chicken's Customs in Wocester, Ma. $2K - $2.5K is a reasonable cost to expect, for getting the same color (i.e. no under hood, etc.).

3k unless its black, budget for more on black, as they usually want to make sure the body is absoloutly strait, as black shows every imperfection.
