Auto Painting Near You

A basic single-stage paint job starts around $500-$1,000. A mid-range paint job with proper prep and basecoat/clearcoat runs $1,500-$3,500. High-end custom paint jobs with extensive bodywork, multiple coats, and premium materials can cost $5,000-$20,000+.

A quality paint job lasts 10-15 years with proper care. Regular washing, waxing or ceramic coating, and garage parking extend paint life. Factory paint typically lasts the lifetime of the vehicle, while aftermarket paint longevity depends on material quality and application technique.

Modern computerized color matching systems can achieve near-perfect matches using spectrophotometers that analyze the existing paint. Factory paint codes provide the base formula, which technicians then adjust for fading and environmental effects. Quality shops blend adjacent panels for seamless results.
