Wife's car still has a lot of life left in it, but debating on selling vs keeping it.

If we keep the car then I want to get it repainted. Just trying to get an idea on price for repainting a car to the same color. Two for coupe if size makes a difference

Also any recommendations on painters in the BR/AP area.

About the cost of season tickets to the skeeters.

Home Depot usually has a few painters outside.

Varies quite a bit - several hundred to several thousand.

Tiger stripes will be estimated if we go through with it.

If it's a good job and you are keeping the same color or same tone, then $1500 ish to 2000, it costs a lot more if you change colors as you have to paint the door jambs and under the hood and inside the trunk area.

You should look into that plasti-dip stuff. I have zero experience with it but online it looks VERY awesome and I think only runs like $500 for a car.

I have always hears to go with the same color, wife likes the color so that makes it easy.

Sounds like $1500 is about the price. Thanks all for the input.

I have used plastidip quite a bit. Did some on a friend's truck and painted a beer fridge.

Not really my taste for an entire car. Great for a teens/early 20's rice rocket.

Price also depends on what the color is too. Some colors are pricier especially if you have mettalics.

Don't they have normal colors in plasti-dip? I really have no idea.
