Re: ON average what does a good paintjob go for?

the guy at the bodyshop said that the paintjob on my Z28 would have costed in between $6 and $7,000.. (factory GM bright red w/blue pearl and silver 25th racing stripes and shaved handles)

To do a color change properly (my car was red to begin with) would have costed a lot more to do it properly.. You haveto paint the doorjambs and sills, underhood and fenders, all around the hatch area..
When you bring your car in to get an estimate, to save yourself some money, tell them you will dis-assemble and re-assemble everything yourself..
a large % of the cost of a new paintjob is labor for R&Ring everything..
