Full car paint job, how much?

Volvi if your leaving it the same colour as the paint is now then things get cheaper. i had an xf ute resprayed in the same colour and it cost me a shade over $1400. was good work and lasted well. main factors where the car was clean no dents/dings and prep work was pretty minimal. metallic is expensive but a plain gloss black shouldnt be much at all. if you get the car and sand it back and get most of the basic prep out of the way you will find things getting alot cheaper. spray painters are a delicate bunch and charge like wounded bulls for doing anything ontop of painting. a big chunk of the qouted price will be for prep work and there labour(cause the bastards think they are above sanding) so expect to pay alot if theres alot of filling and prep to be done.
