Hello All,
I need to paint a 2005 4Runner with really worn off clear coat. I would like to keep it as long as I can, so I want to use good materials. I've gotten 2 estimates in the Los Angeles are, one for $3,500 with Transtar materials and a second one for $2,500 with Matrix clear. What would be a fair price for a good paint job?
First, I'd like to know what you guys think is a fair price to have it painted. It does not have any major body work, but it's an old car, and of course, it is going to need work done to prep it for painting.
Also, how much material do you think it should take to cover the entire car. I was told I needed 1 1/2 gallons of clear and base coat, but not sure if this is accurate. I plan on using SPI universal clear or SPI European clear. Not sure as to the brand for base coat.
I am not a painter, but I have been approached by someone selling a small shop, so their offer has piqued my interest in the painting business.
Thank you very much for reading this and any and all of your input.
