Car Paint Jobs
Car paint jobs pricing ranges can vary depending on the company you use and what exactly it is that you need done to the car. A touch up will run cheaper that a total car paint job, and a custom paint job is the top of the line. That makes a custom paint job the most expensive of the three. The thing to do before you decide to get your car done is to shop around. Compare prices according to the services you need. After you have narrowed it down to a few companies for your price range you will want to check out their creditability.
When you make an appointment to have your vehicles paint done, be sure that you arrange for alternate transportation. This is not a drop in and go situation. The car will need to be demobilized for hours to ensure the paint is dry.
Touch Up Paint
When you go in for a touch up, you want a perfect color match. The price will greatly depend on the amount of damage needing touched up. For a small to mid-sized car with some minor damages you may be looking at around $500.00. It is important to deal strictly with professionals. If the area that you are having touched up is not cleaned and sealed properly then you have not only wasted that money, you may have a big mess on your hands that could cost you well into the thousands to clean up.
Total Car Paint Jobs
When you get a total car paint job you will be looking at a slightly expensive project, if it is done right. There is sanding involved where the car is stripped down to bare metal. You want to be sure you are dealing with professionals because this is not an area to cut corners. For a mid-sized vehicle you should be looking at a price range of $4,000 to $6,000. You want to get with a company that offerers a lifetime guarantee on the work that they done. Some additional things to look for to verify the quality of their work is did they pay attention to the door handles, was the molding and the nameplates properly handled, are the mud-flaps tarnished, how do the mirrors look and so forth. If they are working on a car when you go in to find out about their services ask to look at it. This will help to determine whether or not you want to spend the money with them.
Custom Car Paint Jobs
When you are going for a custom car paint job you want to have a general idea of the designs you want on your car. Do not go in and say ‘surprise me’. Your personal taste may be quite different that what the designer has in mind. The thing is you want to reflect your style and personality. The pricing for a custom paint job can range anywhere from $1,000 to $10,000 depending on the size of the vehicle and the detail you are having transferred to it. You will pay for what you get. It is not ever recommended to go with the lowest bidder, no matter what type of paint job you need to have applied to your car.
