A decent basic paint job can be had for approximately $500 to $700 while a factory type complete paint job can run upwards of $5000 depending on the type of vehicle you drive. There is a big difference between the two. The primary difference is prep work and paint materials. On cheaper paint jobs the original paint is not scuffed prior to applying new paint, thus the paint will eventually peel from little door dings and scrapes. More expensive paint work entails hand scuffing the panels as well as removing unpainted parts from the vehicle. This prevents tape lines where the edges will eventually peel.





If the paint is not peeling and is just faded, try taking the vehicle to have it polished first before being tempted into a complete paint job. Cheap paint work will fade in a couple of years and cannot be undone cheaply.
