Fixing damage on the car is also part of the painting process, as a fresh coat of paint may highlight problems instead of hiding them. Expect to pay anywhere from $1,000 for a good, professional paint job to at least $5,000 for more intricate color choices, such as metallic or chameleon styles.
Top Reasons To Consider A Custom Auto Paint Job
Custom auto paint jobs offer several benefits that you’ll enjoy as soon as your car returns from the shop. Here are a few of them to know about if you’re considering a new coat of paint for your vehicle.
Increase Resale Value
Painting a car typically increases the vehicle’s resale value. Older vehicles might be eligible for higher trade in values, and fresh paint often entitles owners to ask for higher prices when selling their cars directly to buyers. New paint can also bring attention to your car, making it easier to sell and allowing you to be more selective about the offers you entertain for it. If you are considering a paint job solely to improve resale value, it’s particularly important to get quotes from several reputable auto repair shops first. This ensures that you won’t be spending so much on the paint job that the cost outweighs the possibility of a higher resale value, especially if your car is an older of less desirable type.
Following A Collision
Collisions can damage your current paint job, requiring a complete repainting all around to ensure that any new panels installed perfectly match the old ones.Some insurance policies will even help pay for the cost of body work, including custom auto paint jobs, after a collision. Because most paint jobs require mechanics to fix existing damage anyways to facilitate a smoother application, the repairs can be the perfect opportunity to refresh the paint at the same time as well.
Scratch Repair In Custom Auto Paint Job
More minor scratches can also be repaired with a new paint job. If you’ve been involved in a minor accident or have scratches from general wear and tear, getting them fixed as quickly as possible can help prevent rust and resulting structural damages. Fresh paint, which will be used to simply fill in light scratches while the rest of the car is being repainted, can therefore protect the integrity of your vehicle and avoid the need for further repairs while improving its overall appearance in the process.
Enjoying A New Color
Some car owners have no reason to repaint their cars other than the enjoyment of a new color. This is particularly beneficial if you find a pre-owned car that meets all of your specifications aside from color. In this way, you can get all the features you want and repaint the car later instead of passing up a great deal or buying a more expensive car simply for the color. It can also be an excellent way to change up your older but still perfectly driveable car instead of purchasing a new one simply for the novelty of it.
Make The Car Look New Again
Cars can look faded and old over time, making them seem tired and less exciting to drive. Whether you loved your old paint color or are ready for something new, a custom auto paint job from a professional repair shop can make the vehicle look and feel brand new with a simple coat of paint. Most shops are able to match any color, allowing you to return your car to its original look, but this can also be an excellent opportunity to choose an entirely new aesthetic.
