The prices you guys are throwing around seem pretty low to me for a quality job. I had a re-paint done at a high quality shop locally about 2 years ago on another convertible (same color) and it was $4,200. That is in Lexington, KY where it would seem to me prices would generally be lower than NJ. I also considered a different color, but to be done right that would have added another 50% to the cost minimum. I had lower quotes from a few other places, but I wasn't satisfied with the work I saw. I also had a couple higher quotes, but they were hot-rod specialty shops that did mostly show-car/concours car type work and I didn't need that kind of depth and detail for a street car.

A repaint of the same color at high quality will enhance your re-sale value. Lower quality may hurt it......a color swap not done properly will kill your re-sale.

Good luck.
