The last estimate I recieved was $5800.00 Just for a decent paint job with no body work. What does a decent paint job cost roughly outside California?

5800.00 ??? with NO body work??? holy crap......

I take my cars apart, then the body guy does all the body work, sprays the paint and then I put it all back together. After it is back together he wet sands and buffs. It's about 3k per car and that includes about 750.00 for material. He prices it to me based on the fact he will be doing the work on 10 cars. The way we do the cars makes it pretty simple for him and it helps that he is only a mile down the road from me. He does all the paint work in a professional paint booth also.
