Painting...

[naossoan]

Hey everyone.

I've got a 07 silver Yaris 3 door. I wish I waited to buy an 08 or 09 model because they came out with that sort of darker grey/smoke color which I like a lot more. Maybe I wouldn't want to paint my car if I had that color.

Anyways, what I'm looking for is like an average price for painting a whole car a different color, as I understand it is a different price since they have to basically rip the car apart to get all the door sills and eeeevvvverrything.

I want to paint my car Orange - it's my favourite color and I've always wanted that perfect orange color. Not rust, not flourescent, just - perfect. I'll have to mess with pics of my car in photoshop to try and come up with the best color...but I'm just wondering what it costs.

I asked a friend of mine that knows a bit more about cars and stuff than I do and he said for a car my size it would be like $4000?? I dunno it just seems like a lot of money to paint your car, but I guess there's a lot of labour involved if you're painting it a totally different color.

Has anyone on the forum done this?

Thanks
