Toyota Camry Paint Job Cost

Question. Cedric asks: I’m thinking about having my 1999 Camry repainted. But I’ve gotten quotes from 250 dollars to three (3) thousand dollars. Why the big price difference?

Answer: As in most cases, you get what you pay for. The low end price is probably one of those chain paint businesses. They paint a LOT of cars, so they get a break on paint and material costs. And generally for that price, they just tape over trim and such, and then spray the car. While a paint job that costs a LOT more will generally consist of stripping the old paint off, removing all the trim and bumpers, and doing a really professional job. SO, you decide what you want done, and what you want to pay. Just make sure that whoever you choose for the job will give you some type of guarantee against runs and drips and “orange peels” in the paint surface BEFORE you have them do the job. That way you’ll know what to accept when the job is done.
