Merry Christmas everyone! Where as i think my car looks pretty decent now,i would like to put a new coat of paint on it this coming year. Just like to know if anyone has done this recently and a ball park figure on what i may be putting in a good paint job. SAVE THE WAVE!

You can go from min to max. All depends on bodywork, type of paint, prep work,Custom work, etc. My guess is betwwen 5-10k for a nice paint job. If you're thinking Ridler Award, add 3 more zeros.

Got mine repainted by a friend in the business for $1,000 even and it looks good as new.

Actually he is up there now, visiting relatives for the holidays. Bring the Vette down here and leave it with him for about 10 days and he will likely do yours for under $2K.

Halfway between Chattanooga and Atlanta, right off I-75.

Here are a couple pics of mine right after he did the repaint.
