What would it cost to paint my whole care CGM? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

It's currently SIM and I love the color and how it accents the cars lines, but I have a lot of products I want to use that wouldn't look right on a SIM at all. (like a ground effects package, not GMs) and CF hood. Just curious on the expected price for outside paint job. Thanks.

Sell it.............buy another one. Cost less than a color change.

2nd. Might be a better idea. A lot of times, a color change can lower the resale value of the vehicle. Not only that, but to do it right, (spraying engine bay, etc) can run past 6-7k. Of course, that'll also depend on what paint you're using and who is doing the work.
If you're going to do a full respray, maybe at least consider a totally different color/shade/style. SOmething from House of Kolor. A one off to at least make the cost of the job worth while. Otherwise, I agree w/ our72gto, trade this one in on a cgm.

Trade it on the color you want. It will never be the same after a color change.

Thanks guys. It's a really long shot decision. I spent a lot of time initially choosing the color so I'm not gonna get it painted on a whim, but I didn't have a clue as to what was involved or the cost. This helps.
