You can get some guy to do it like shit in his garage for maybe 1500-2k. A real paintjob is 5-6k. Forget it man. |

Only thing to do is get bids.
Probably best to just keep working the guts. I’d be checking suspension and ignition components next. Be sure it’s got fresh fuel and air filters and run the girl. If you want to shine it up a good coat of wax is your friend. If the headlights are cloudy there are some good restoration products out there. I’d probably move a different direction than paint. |

Putting a spare Northstar in the carport for when it yanks the head bolts out would be very smart.

Yeah. Supplies have gotten high and the EPA has stuck their nose even in little shops. You can’t run cheap.

A few months ago I started looking for an AWD passenger van to use as a Chiefs tailgater. I ended up driving to Wisconsin to pick up this 2014 Chevy Express van. It only had 26k on it so lots of life left. We've still got a lot to go but have a good start on the project. We're going for a Chiefs/A-Team theme.
Before you ask, the SS badging came on it and I'm removing it. Chiefs Tailgating van by Random Dude, on Flickr |

2018 Corvette ZO6 supercharged. Only 2600 miles. It's the 2LZ trim level with a few of the 3LZ trim options. Plus I've added a clear targa top.

Then strip it down, prime it and then paint it. You'll be $25K into that sort of project in no time. And if you don't do it like that, in 1-2 years you'll be wishing you never changed the color. Rock chips, chips on the door, the elements, etc will cause the new paint to peel and chip off, revealing the original color underneath. You'll likely get over spray underneath the car and when the car gets on a lift, or if someone opens the hood etc it's going to be different colors. If the body shop didn't do a good job prepping the car, your new paint WILL start to flake off in a few years. Keep the car its original color and yeah, expect to pay in the $4K-$6K range for a decent refreshed paint job. If you got a hard-on for changing the color of the car, maybe consider a vinyl wrap.
