for a complete respray - i.e Everything out engine/roof/interior etc ... your looking at about $7-8k , and add a couple more if you want pearl colours. And more again if the body requires any work for dings scratches etc .
As for an outerbody respray , you can get it done from about $1500-2200 .

yep i was wanting a proper job done but at these rates i think ill just have to buy a colour i can live with.
As with the long term , resale might be hard , as your custom colour will only appeal to a select group. And if the quality of the paint work is average , it will depreciate your car even further . Best to find one in good nick and stick with it .

in this type of work , you always get what you pay for as well .

i knew a guy that had his own compressor and paint gun and would use acrylic paint and change teh colour of his car every few months. from a distance it looked ok ( as ok as kermit green with flames can be) but up close u could see the imperfections. i never understood it, but he seemed to enjoy the novelty value
