considering the body is pretty good and im keeping it the same colour can any1 tell me how much a closed door paint job on my 1200 ute should roughly cost me ?

2 pack? enamel? acrilyc? what is the original colour? is it the original paint? do u want small imperfections fixed or just painted over? windows removed or just taped up? door handles etc?

you have provided way too much information with your question.

anywhere from $1500 to $15000 based on the lack of information and without seeing the car, or you could go buy some rattle cans from supercheap should cost less then $500.

Standard acrylic enamel non-metallic paint (door closed) starts at $450 in USA. The orginal 1200 paint was acrylic enamel, which is tough, durable and shiny. It's a good choice.

But a typical budget paint job is more like $1500 USD which includes small amounts of minor bodywork.

A 'show car' metallic paint job starts at $5000 USD. If you want to win the show, $15,000 is not out of line.

Wow that's cheap ddgonzal. In Aus you can pretty much double every figure and you would be closer to an accurate figure.

If a mate is doing the painting (as in my case) I payed $350 4lt acrylic plus $120 2x20lt of prewash and thiners and $60 spray putty I didnt shop around so be interested to know if that the norm.

I edged my car out (door jams, boot and entire engine bay) myself, and supplied materials. So pretty much a close door spray, and it was $1500 with a little body work in 2k, Price will vary massively depending on who you know and the quality of the job

I'd go with a base coat/ clear coat, rather than enamel which you have to buff out every so often. I dulls out if you do not keep up with it. If you are in a budget enamel would work also, it's just more maintainance IMO.

enamel won't dull if waxed. All new cars have used enamel since the 1960s.

thanx every1 got 2 quotes 2day 1was $1400 and the other $1800 this wasnt including the tail gate which i am replacing with a bully net i am repainting it the colour that it already is can any 1 help me with the names of the datsun oranges as im pretty sure it is an original datsun colour my ute came out in blue iv already cheched my plates
