painting a car?

[dan g]

how much would it cost to paint a car from red to black??

Prices differ from location, quality, and size of vehicle. You can expect to pay about $1500.00-$2500.00 USD to change the color with a decent shop.
It is good you realize that changing a car's color cost more than it would to repaint a car.

EDIT:
Wow, I came back to see what other suggested and someone suggested 400-600 dollars. That is ridiculously low. I minimum I've ever paid for a basic paint job of decent quality way like 700-750. That was for just a repaint of the original color and nothing special!

Man the only person who can answer that is the body shop. It depends on how many coats of primer, paint, and clearcoat. Not to mention if you have any dents or dings or adjustments in door hinges a lot of stuff go into play here. I almost forgot it depends on what kind of paint you use. You can get house of color or the krylon touch put to it. I've seen paint jobs just one color nothing special run for 12,000 bucks and I've seen jobs for about 300 bucks. Just depends on what you want and how long you want it to last.

I would say a good estimate would be ranging from $400.00-$600.00 dollars.
