    So my car is green and I want to get it painted Electric blue pearl along with some dents fixed. What is a rough estimate on price i'll be looking for? Thanks.

    your best bet would be to get actual quotes from body shops but from what i have seen around 5 grand and upwards for a color change

    I would think 5 thousand minimum, easily approaches 8 or 9 at a reputable shop.

    Are you going to do it right and get the jambs and engine bay and all done? If so of say $10000.

    If you're paying less the 7 you're probably not going to get a very good job. I'd budget closer to 10 though

    I would definitely budget around $10K, more for the engine bay too.

    Okay, thanks guys. I got a quote yesterday and it was just shy of $13 000 and wasn't sure what the average price was.

    plasti dip for the win! you can do your whole car for $500. if you werent too picky about the door jams and engine bay then its super easy, if you want to do them just takes a little more prep time.
    JUST DIP IT!!!
