I want to change the color of my camaro, how much should i expect to pay for a quality job? Any recommends in the L.A., California area?

 

I am not sure what part of LA you are in, but I had my 68 Camaro painted at a shop in Fullerton, CA. (North Orange County)

The name of the shop is Rick's Kustoms and Rick is the sole employee...yes a one man shop...
He has over 30 years experience in paint and body and even taught it at a local community college.

I am completely satisfied with his work, and I am a perfectionist when it comes to paint jobs.

He charged $3,500 for the job and used quality PPG basecoat/clearcoat. This included adding a black bumblebee stripe under the clear. Keep in mind that I kept the original Ash Gold color, pulled off all of the chrome and trim myself, and there was very little bodywork to do...just a lot of block sanding...

Here is a pic of my car...but let me know if you are in the Orange County area and I will show you the car....

 

really? could i see ur car the next time im in o.c.?

I am usually at Fuddruckers in Lake Forest on Tuesday nights

 

It all depends on the work that needs to be done. It may cost a little more, as stated above, due to you changing from the original color. This will require alot more "cut-ins"

Also removing all trim, Handles, lock cylinders... yourself will save alot of labor also.

We have sprayed a good amount of 70's to 80's corvettes for around 3 to 5 thousand, also usually PPG. This included cutting and buffing the clear. For the "glassy" look.
