I hope this isn't the wrong place to post this, but I was wondering how much it should cost to repaint a mustang. I know a cheap repaint job would look bad, so I was wondering how much I should expect to pay to repaint one. There's a guy who is selling one that's white, but I don't really want white, so I was thinking if he sells it to me, that I would repaint it. Any advice would be appreciated.

 

Well, a Good paint job should run you around $4000! As they say " A good paint job ain't cheap & a cheap paint job ain't good"

Dave...

 

I was quoted a ball park figure of $6,700 going from black to green, stripping the factory paint, removing all attached parts (bumpers/fenders/doors/mirrors/hood/trunk/glass/lights/ect), individual painting, but leaving the engine compartment in black.

 

if you want it done right, you will have to go the route George is considering.

the more parts taken off the car, the better the results, = more $$$

Your best bet is to wait a few months rather than pay a couple of thaosand dollars to change the color.

 

What's wrong with white? I think the white could be awesome with painted shelby stripes. Just about any color would transform that car.

 

i was thinking of repainting, i want a dark hunter green like bullit, with some black bullits and louvers, omg it would be awsome

 

Ditto.....I have a white GT and love it!!

 

I think the only color good to repaint is black because of th engine bay..

 

This is exactly what I was thinking of doing, but it just cost too much at this time for me.

 

The possibilities for changing the character of a white car are almost endless. But if the white really bothers you, I'd place an '06 order and get what you really want.

 

Not worth it unless somebody wants a color that is not offered like Kandy Red, Pink, Orange or Purple. about $7,000 or more for a complete total paint.

 

Ask paint-boy how much it would cost:

Changing color falls into the custom paint job category. To be done right, the cost would be too expensive. Supposing it would be a daily driver, the car simply does not merit such expense.

 

for $6700 you can install a supercharger

 

Painting a new car, unless you have a LOT of money to spare, is not really a good way to go. You'll never get a cent of that back. And you'd be lucky to get a good (not even a great) paintjob for under 5 grand. I would do either one of two things... wait and find a car in the color you want for a lot less than painting the white one, or get the car and keep it white. If you keep it white, you could do vinyl or painted stripes or something to that effect so that you wouldn't have a plain white car. Painting a pair of Shelby stripes on a white car would change about 25% of the car to a color of your choice, cost you just $1500-$2000, and also add some value to the car.
