Paint Costs
Hey I'm thinking of doing a GT500 conversion with a Trufiber Venom II hood.
I was curious as to how much everyone on here has paid to get the front & rear bumpers, hood, and spoiler painted?
Nothing special just OEM quality Mineral Gray.

I would be very cautious about a full color change costing only 4,000. What type of prep and post sprawy work is being done on the car at that price?
When I had a front end conversion and paint done on my 2002 GT the cost for the job ran right around 1500 to install a pumper, paint it and a hood and blend to the fenders. That was in 2002 money.
2 1/2 years ago when I had my 1969 Firebird painted, the body shop soda blasted the car, primed and hand blocked it, sprayed with an OEM PPG 2 stage paint and color sanded the finish. This would be a typical "OEM" style paint job in quality and finish. Not a show finish but what you would expect to see on a brand new car.
Total cost with labor and materials was about $7500.00
Unless the shop that is quoting you is basically just going to haze the original paint with a scotchbright pad then prime and paint over it with little to no prep, that 2-4k is VERY low for paint.
You might find yourself having to do a repaint again in a couple years.
