It depends on what you want, where you go and the size of the vehicle.

A quick and dirty Maaco paint job could run you as low as $200. Of course, this ignores everything like the engine bay, inside the door jambs and the little nooks and crannies. They don’t do much prep-work either, so many of those door dings will still be there. This is mostly for those that want to slap on a new coat before selling it or trading it in – or the paint is already pretty good, but you want to touch it up or have the clear coat redone.

If you’re looking for a quality job, expect to pay at least $1000 – and that’s bottom end for something reputable. This only increases for specialty colors, additives (like flake or speckle), body work (filling in cracks, dings and scrapes), changing the original color, special graphics, or multiple layers of clear. Most reputable places will go upwards of $3000 for a good, quality paint job.

Call around for quotes. This will vary from shop to shop, and even states.

That can vary a great deal depending on where you get it done and the quality of work that your looking for, bottom line, you get what you pay for.
