How Much Does a Car Paint Job Cost?

September 18, 2018 By admin

Car Paint Job Cost Breakdown

Many car owners are rather particular about their cars. No scuffs allowed, no dents, no dirt, and no faded paint! Makes sense, right? Wouldn’t you want your $20,000-$100,000 investment to be looking its finest at all times? Here in the heat of Dallas, TX, paint generally fades at a quicker rate than cooler climates. You may not notice it, but there’s a good chance the color of your car now looks different than when you purchased it off the lot. If you want an improved car paint job, you might want to know how much one costs.

Costs do vary...

car paint jobBasic blending jobs typically cost around $300. These often follow-up minor vehicle repairs. Paint will rub off from a collision and the repairman will re-paint the damaged area to ensure it blends with the unaffected areas of the vehicle. More often than not, basic paint jobs make use of enamel paint to refresh and gloss a car.

Then, there are full-on paint jobs in which the entire car is re-painted, or re-coated. In this instance, urethane paint is commonly used. A single application of urethane, color-specific paint should have a vehicle looking fresh off the dealer lot. Full-on paint jobs will cost right around $1,000. If additional services are performed, such as sanding, the cost will of course rise.

Most body shops will offer a package paint job. This consists of buffing, sanding, and priming. Also, multi-application of urethane paint.  You can expect such an extensive car paint job to cost between $3,000 to $6,000.

A few tips:

Confirm with the auto body shop the warranty on the job

More often than not, the work done by the auto body shop should be protected by a multi-year warranty. Surely the job will be successful; however, it is always nice to have some cushion. A warranty protects you and it adds credibility to the shop.

Seek multiple estimates to understand the price range

It’s never a bad idea to seek out multiple estimates for a car paint job, no matter how simple or complex the job may be. Of course, you can weight the different prices, but you can also gain an understanding of the price range for budgeting purposes. This may not be the only time your car undergoes a paint touch up or overhaul. Thus, it’s good to have a point of reference.

Ask questions!

Like all services, make sure you have a full understanding of what the service will consist of. Ask what kind of paint will be used, ask about the process, ask about the amount of time the service will take. The more questions you ask, the more confident you will feel about the overall job.

Dallas Auto Paint is an auto body shop you can trust! Our collective staff has been working on cars for over 25 years. We’ll explain the painting process and we’ll field any questions that you might have. Please take a look through our website—www.dallasautopaint.com—and our blog for additional helpful input.

How long to wait to wash your car after a new paint job?

It’s a question that comes up more often than you might think. Not every body shop offers advice on the amount of time to let lapse before washing your car after it gets a new paint job. That’s what Dallas Auto Paint is here for! Well, we’re more about completing paint jobs ourselves; however, there’s never a bad time to educate vehicle owners. Whether you were in an auto collision or you just want an improved looking car, the same general guidelines will apply.

Washing

new paint jobLet’s focus on a general car wash first. It takes 24 hours for the new paint to cure, at the most. Though, just because it has cured does not mean it won’t react negatively to water, soap, and other ingredients that are involved in a car wash. The expert recommendation is to wait at least two weeks to wash your car from when the new paint job was completed. Even then, a modest hand wash is likely best. A bucket of water with soap (not dish soap) should do just fine. Make sure you use a soft cloth; no brushes or any abrasive object of the like.

Once a month has gone by, you should be fine to enter into a car wash center without your vehicle paint suffering whatsoever. The idea is to protect your car has best as possible; therefore, it is better to be safe than sorry when it comes to a wash. If you live in Dallas, TX, it may also be a good idea to get a fresh coat of paint during a dry spell, perhaps late summer/early fall. This can minimize the amount of dirt buildup on your car and the need for a car wash.

Waxing

Waxing is a bit of a different story. To best protect your car’s new paint job, it’s safe to avoid waxing for a few months. The ingredients in car wax could damage the paint if it is not 100% dry and settled. Experts recommend waiting 60-90 days before having your car waxed after a paint refresh. Again, it’s a matter of precaution. 60 days of waiting should be fine for your car, perhaps even a lesser number of days. Washing your car a few times over two months should certainly keep it clean enough before it needs a waxing anyway.

Ask the shop

It’s best to ask the people who gave your car a fresh coat of paint in the first place. Ask the Dallas, TX shop how long you need to wait until you can wash your car, and ask how long you need to wait until you can wax your car. The shop will be the best source, as they will know the specifics based on the type of paint they used. Different painting processes and different painting materials can warrant different waiting periods.

So, ask the shop! Even if you didn’t think to ask in person, a representative will surely be able to give you an answer over the phone.

If you are looking for a trustworthy shop to give your car a new paint job, look no further than Dallas Auto Paint. We offer countless auto body services, all of which can be viewed and detailed via our website—www.dallasautopaint.com. Call to schedule an appointment or stop on in!

Signs of Good Auto Collision Repair

Most people already know the steps to find a good mechanic. You ask for referrals from friends, compare prices online and verify that the shop is licensed. Instead of choosing any shop, you find one that is known for Dallas auto collision repair. In addition, you should learn about different mechanic techniques and know how to spot the signs of a good repair.

Matching Colors

Dallas Auto Collision Repair
A collision causes significant damage to your car's exterior. Some parts are repaired and must be repainted immediately, so you may worry about the paint colors not matching. Good collision repair experts guarantee that their colors are matched to those of your car's unique make and model. The mechanic does not just guess what the color is - he uses color matching cameras and computers to find the exact match.

Repair Preparation

Every good auto repair starts with a thorough preparation. Before professional painters work, they prepare the surface with sanding and priming. In the same way, mechanics find that auto body preparation is necessary to make the repair last longer. Before they apply paint, they clean the car, sand down its surface and may remove the trims, mirrors or other parts.

Smells, Sounds and Leaks

The first signs of trouble with your car are obvious. You see oil leaks under the body, hear squeaky noises on the brakes or smell burning odors from the engine. Any good mechanic is able to patch up the small problems that are caused by bigger ones, which only worsen if they are not fixed.

Specialized Knowledge

Cars, trucks and SUVs all have different features, so you will not find the same brakes, lights and paint colors. Even cars made by the same manufacturer come in dozens of models, each with their own unique qualities. An auto repair technician who has worked for 10 years may not be able to repair your specific make and model. Make sure that your technician is qualified to work on your type of car. Their years of experience do not matter as much as their specialized expertise.

A head-on collision brings the worst type of damage to your car. You could easily spend a few thousand dollars more than necessary on a repair. Prepare yourself by finding a shop that specializes in Dallas auto collision repair. Then, learn more about how common repairs are done so that you are more certain that you got a good deal.
