I am new to the world of imports just bought a 2000 Civic EX, I was just wondering how much it would cost to paint a body kit approximately or how much you guys paid. Or how much to repaint the entire car.

Thanks I love this site and any help would be great.

the whole car should be about $2500 and the body kit will be close to the same,........... the clear coat is what is going to cost you.

It depends if you have the door jams, engine, trunk, etc.... painted too. I personally wouldn't paint my car and have the door jams a different color:crazy:

1200 for the whole car? That seems like a really cheap job.

a really good paint job is about 1500 in cleveland from roman chariot. i see that in wisconsin prices are a lot higher than cleveland

if your gonna use some special paint, try to buy the paint yourself, then take it to the bodyshop. Cause if you let them buy the paint, they will jack the price up way high. But you might want to check and see if they will let you buy the paint.
