who much to change color

[94greenhunter]

i been asking around and everyone is telling me that it is going to cost about 1200 to 1500 dollars to change my car from green to black is that an accurate amount.

[mustangman68302]

that def. wouldnt include any body work

[94greenhunter]

well i am going to have a new hood, front bumper, and a new fender. but that is not counting the trunk where i took my spoiler off. but i am going to have those holes welded up so all they have to do is prep it and spray it. and yes i want the doors done too.

[Masshole]

IMO.... as from up here.... i kno people that may do it for that price. talk to Darren (88gt) is you live near SA.

[94greenhunter]

well my uncle will do it for like 600 for me but i do not want to troblem him because he will doing it on his off time. but the good side on that is that he is useing the dealership paint shop.

[Masshole]

dood..... for that price.... trouble him. that deal is like a small ****.... you cant beat it :hugo:

[94greenhunter]

i might have to because i have not found anyone with a good deal yet:rotfl::rotfl:dood..... for that price.... trouble him. that deal is like a small ****.... you cant beat it :hugo:

[Masshole]

i might have to because i have not found anyone with a good deal yet:rotfl::rotfl:

how far from Pipes Creek are you?? keep in mind i kno lil about TX. Darren might not be able to do it for $600, but we all have seen his work, he is great.

[94greenhunter]

it is like 250 miles away from me.

[Masshole]

it is like 250 miles away from me.

:ohsnap: never mind :lol:


yea..... IMO, bug your uncle. im sure he wouldnt mind.

[94greenhunter]

yea but thanks for the idea

[Masshole]

i try.

[Darren]

i might have to because i have not found anyone with a good deal yet:rotfl::rotfl:

1200-1500 is a good deal. Thats a great deal actually if its done right. 600 wouldnt buy everything needed. almost, but not quite

[94greenhunter]

well the parts i am buying i just need someone to paint it. but i think i will go to my uncle on that.

[Darren]

He'll go in the hole unless he gets all the materials for free. If he happens to, he will make minimum wage at best

[FoxracerMenace]

I say go with your tio, that is a great deal!

[94greenhunter]

i think that is what i am going to do.

[94greenhunter]

do yall think if i just painted it dark green do you think that it would be considerd a color change?

[Masshole]

a color change means a name change. what colors do you like tho???

[94greenhunter]

yea that is kind of the reason i am going to stay with green. i really like the color on the new bullit mustang. i am thinking that color.

[Masshole]

yea that is kind of the reason i am going to stay with green. i really like the color on the new bullit mustang. i am thinking that color.

thats DARK hunter green.

paint it sonic blue :D

[94greenhunter]

blue is my favorite color but i like dark colors on my cars. but i think that is the color that i am going to go with.

[hot95]

Yeah stay with the green i love green Stangs

[Midnight Crawler]

changing colors is a pain in the ass to do. we just finish a 85 mustang color change at 2400.00 with a very little body work. so 1200to 1500 is a good deal.

[94greenhunter]

yea i have noticed. so would it be considered a color chang to make it darker.

[Midnight Crawler]

do you want the door jams trunk and under the hood painted if so yes

[94greenhunter]

the tail lights i want them painted black and i could just paint under the new hood black that is no problem. it is not like i am going to put in any car show.

[Exforbrian]

man, all I can think of is a taxi, you know, where they paint a yellow car, green and every scratch or nick, looks like florecent? I hate color change.. better paint, better setup= better outcome. good luck

PS is there someone down near San Antonio that is good at paint, my 95 vert, needs painted, thanks.

[TrooperSeven]

Dayum, It's 600 just for the paint for sure, not including labor. I just got a bid to repaint my K1500 Silverado ( different color ) 6 months ago and the guy wanted $ 4200 I know It's double the work to change colors on a car for sure.

[Squid]

yea that is kind of the reason i am going to stay with green. i really like the color on the new bullit mustang. i am thinking that color.

That's Dark Highland Green (DHG) -- The same color I'm going to paint my '83 when it comes to that. That color is :harold1:

I've attached a copy of the data plate if you're interested in the paint code, etc. :david:
