Where is a good place to get a car painted in Tucson? (how much)

[LemonYellow]

And are there any places to avoid?



Thanks!

Tough question, Lemon.

Just for clarification . . . what type of vehicle needs or wants a new paint job? Are you looking for "custom" or just a simple refresher?

Prices range from about 500 bucks all the way up to about 2k bucks.

Whooooooos, rbohm . . . you are correct, I meant to post $20k, not $2k.

Blame it on the hour and waiting for my coffee.

SUV and just a refresher. Paint is fading but no peeling on hood and roof.

Are you certain you need a paint job, LY?

Depending on the age and condition of the paint, a good detailer is able to work miracles on tired and faded paint for about 150 bucks (possibly a little more for an SUV).

Good Luck.

Hi there sorry to interrupt I have an 76 t bird with only 39k original miles all parts are original and the car runs beautifully there are no dents or rust I left for a few years and my stupid sisters son thought the need to repaint the car and painted it an ugly red unprofessionally, you can imagine the look on my face, anyway I was wondering how much it would cost approx to paint the car a solid gloss black?? I live here in tucson.

Check out Duval Body and Paint just west of La Canada in Sahurita. He just did my wife's Lexus RX-300 hood and it looks new. $400 for the job, to give you an idea of prices.

There is so much to a paint job.

Most collision and/or body shops do a good job.
It's mostly the prep - taping and overspray that are issues.
Not having an airtight paint room.
Orange peal look can be an issue.

There is a difference between a restoration paint job and a collision paint job. One being much more expensive then the other.
