I cant speak from experience but ive seen back yard jobs and they usually don't come out the best unless you have lots of practice so I'd say let the pro's do it and save having to strip it twice.

Up to 10,000 for a professional job. 1000 for a backyarder. |

ummmmmmmmmmmmmm tough question ok obviosuly depends on quality and type or paint as in brand of paint etc and amounts of coats used] metallic should only cost an extra hundead or two as it just means you need to add a clear coat and some flakes i would say cheapest pro job 1500 most expensive going on some of the prices ive heard of late 10000 |

No clear coat. As said, metallics are dearer, maybe add another $200. Name brand paints are dearer too.

If you are painting at home I have ONE opinion only.... Pay the $$$ and buy GOOD paint!!! Cheap paint = cheap results. I know because I have used CHEAP and GOOD paint...and I have seen results. My preference is PPG brand paint. Even in acyrlic it is tuff stuff and goes on NICE! |
