What Affects the Cost of Painting a Car?
Like many things in life, you’ll absolutely get what you pay for when it comes to professional paint jobs. You can swing into a body shop and get the lowest price but don’t expect it to be a top-notch job. In general, you can count on paint job prices to vary based on:
• A solid, high-quality paint job averages around 100k – 200k but getting assessment helps to get a conclusive quote.
• Size
• Additional repairs
• Color
• Quality and paint Preferences
Size of the Vehicle:
• Painting an Saloon car, a Mercedes C200 is going to cost a lot less than painting an Suv, ie. A Ranger rover or a V8, based only on the fact that the Range got quite a bit more real estate that needs painting.
Additional Repairs Needed:
• If you can’t leave the parking lot without curb surfing, you’re going to pay extra to have any damage repaired prior to having the vehicle painted.
Color:
• Choosing a mainstream color like black, white, or grey is the cheapest way to go. If you want a specialty color, especially one used by a premium automaker, you’ll pay more. Also, keep in mind that changing your vehicle’s color will cost more because of the work it will take to paint the engine bay, door jambs, and more.
Quality and Paint Preferences
• A single-coat synthetic enamel paint job can be had for as little as 30k. Prices can range up to around to 100k or this type of paintwork.
• A higher quality paint job that includes bodywork, such as dent/rust/damage repair, can cost as much as 350k
If the car paint is looked after properly, it will also be more resistant generally to external influences.
This means car spray paint or touch up paint is significantly essential if the deep scratches or dents are repaired at in a Timely Manner.
