Vannin' Community and Forums Forums General Discussion Paint and Bodywork Cost Of Automotive Paint

It’s been a very long time since I had to look into getting any vehicle repainted. Recently purchased a 91 Chevy Shorty and it is due to go to the paint shop later this summer…..was looking at black and a 2020 Cadillac color and I asked how much more the Cadillac color would be (a metallic color) and to my surprise (and the painter’s) they were the same…..now everyone hold on …….$787.00 per gallon…..whew…..almost makes one to have it wrapped instead……..LOL

Thats about right on the price ....it cost me $3500 to have my Red van painted.

I had the White van painted back in 09 and that one was $900.

As my friend was the painter his fee was minimal ...

Now lets talk aircraft N Space paint ...lol

When did you have BIG Red painted and there had to be hardly no bodywork

That was the paint job after the accident when they replaced the whole drivers side.
