Paint costs?

[Käse]

Do any of you guys know about how much it would cost to get a 325i repainted? If anything I'd get the original color repainted on the car including the bottom gray colored parts. I have a feeling it will be way to expensive though...

It would look so much nicer with a fresh paint job, I'd pay the $3,000ish for the good job. I was just wondering a ball park number. I'll just have to save my pennies.

how old is your car? anyways Maaco does it for $250.00 yes i said 250.00 , i didnt misspell . they just straighup clean it really nice, shine it all that and then paint it. for 250$ if you think about it, which i did, i didnt think it was worth spending 2k for a paint job, its not like it makes you car go faster...

But the paint is crappy from Maaco... the job is crappy too.

My sisters '89 325i was repainted by Maaco... and while it does look better than it was (hers was in BAD shape)... its no where near as nice as a high quality paint job. It doesnt shine like it it could... it just isnt as good.. period.
If you dont care how your car looks... if you dont wash it all the time.. if you dont wax it.. give it a full exterior detail at least once a year... then sure... go to maaco.. youll waste your money repainting it if you dont plan on caring for it or get a thrill driving around in a car that is as clean as it can be.

I for one will not use maaco unless I have a beater that I want to be cleaned up just a bit.

Sorry for borrowing the thread, but how much would it cost to paint JUST the sideskirts and front/rear bumper?

It cost me $200 just for the front bumper so for all I would guess $500-$700.
