Painting a Camaro?
Does anyone know of a good, high quality place to get a paint job done in Houston or even Austin/Dallas/San Antonio? How much does it cost and is it worth it? Right now my car is red and I would like it to be charcoal/gray.

Not sure of a place but to get a good decent paint job where they will take it back down to bare metal and paint all the door jams, under the hood, etc. expect around 6-8K

You might want to rethink doing a paint color change. I would highly advise against this. I would just sell your car and buy the color you want.

Sell it and buy the color you want. If you're dead set on painting then a quality shop will paint the entire car including the trunk and engine compartment. IMO you're looking at $13-16k for a quality job.

I am a paint and body guy and take my advise no paint job done proffessionaly is going to be as good as the factory paint the factory has rust prevention and the bumpers is made of plastic there fore sanding them could cause waving and will take the value of the car tremendously down but its all in what you want

Why not just get the car wrapped? This way you get the color you want, and when it comes time to resell you have the original color and in pristine shape. Win win, see?
