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.

 

Definitely interested in this answer as well.

 

The grays must know.......

 

Well in California at the shop that I use it would probably be around $1500 to 2000 based on the amount of prep. The color shouldn't make any difference.

 

Holy crap. I was quoted 3500-4k to change the color of the whole car by a good shop over here. 2k is a little much. Is the hazard and cleanup a lot there?

 

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.

 

yea should be around $1500 for new stuff like that.

 

Costs are all area specific. In California all the costs are very high, and good work is hard to find, but the environmental fees will kill you!
