I'm wondering how much does it cost to have a car painted brand-new. I have a used vehicle and it needs a new paint job and I just need to know what it cost to get a new one. The car has a little Rust I'm just wondering if that's going to reflect the cost at all in a couple of dents too.

To have a car painted is not a cheap thing to do and that is a very misconception by people. It takes a lot of time and effort to get a new paint job on a vehicle. The main reason why it costs so much is because the previous paint needs to be ready for the new paint to go over it. And if the old paint is not in good enough condition that it needs to be fixed so that the new pain is not reflected by how the old paint sits on the metal.
The hardest part of everything is fixing and repairing Rust because Rust is actually metal that is been corroded and is no longer there. Lost is actually eating away at the metal and you can no longer get it back ever.
Not to mention the cost of paint that goes on vehicles is not cheap whatsoever. Depending on what color and brand of paint a person gets will determine how much the paint will cost. I've seen some paints alone cost almost US$500. So if the paint costs that much alone what do you think the whole entire job is going to cost with labor?
A paint job on a vehicle is not a $200 job but instead more or less like $1000-$5000 depending on the quality. I would say a middle that good decent paint job is going to run you around $2000. The way to save money is to get a hold of a person that does it on the side and have him or her do the work on their own. Because if you're going to pay for this service a professional is going to charge a lot more that has to make a living at doing it.
It's easy to misjudge how much work is actually involved in a paint job in the cost of how much it is to obtain a car. The cost to paint a car is not cheap and there is a lot of labor involved with taking apart little accessories on the vehicle and putting them back on after the paint has dried.
Not to mention all of the supplies and tools needed to do all the special work. Tools like paint guns and air compressors in Sandy and sanding tools and sandpaper the list goes on and on. There truly is no other way to paint the car other than a professional paint job. People think they can use rattle cans and aerosol cans but it just is not the same.
The cost to paint the car I would average out to be around $1500. That should answer your question and I hope that that answered it good enough and that I imagine the price is a little higher than you thought it would be. Most people that email me think a paint job is going to be $500 maximum but they're actually very wrong because it cost more.
