    Good Price For ......

    Im thinkin about gettin my car repainted. It needs some small amount of body work like a couple small dents thats about it and one small rust spot, nothing big. About how much would it cost to have the car all sanded down and repainted white (a good paint job)??????

    For something that's OEM quality, 2-3K.
    No projects. Life consumes my time and money.

    do it yourself..

    Seriously, buy a gun (100+~) the paint (well any amount really..) and go find a place that rent out booths for X amount of dollars per hour.

    You should be able to find a friend who has a friend/family member who has an airgun they'd lend ya..

    You should be able to do the whole thing for about 300-400 bucks. Practice before on a few things to get your technique down pact.. make sure you go in one direction, side to side, not up and down =)

    Practice, then try it out for real...

    Wetsand, bondo, sand bondo, primer, sand, primer, coat, coat, light sand, coat, clear..

    If I missed anything someone else can step in - I'm a little rusty.. Been a while.
    Anybody with a pulse and eyesight can get excited looking at $250,000 supercars. It takes a special kind of gearhead to drool over an Accord, Sentra, Corolla or anything else made out of parts found in dumpsters, scrap yards, and along the side of the highway.
