I'd expect anything from $AU 1000 -> 10000

A lot of painters won't let the customer do the prep. Because when their prep results in 'crazing' and sinkback and various other paint issues.. the painter gets the blame. It's not worth their trouble unless at the right price.

I paid $7500 for prep/paint of my sedan in 2004, and had to wait 12 months for it to be done at low priority.

hi there you should be able to get 2 litres of any solid clolour plus hardener and thinners enough to paint a whole ute inside and out for under 200 protec in thornbury melbourne supplied mine for 176 any one with reasonable psices would onlyt charge 200 to 300 for oven hire and maybe 300 to 400 to rub and prep and paint if there is no repairs to be done and it is already stripped that being said i did mine myself and only paid oven hire 200 and paint 176 hope you have luck finding the right price

does anyone know the average price of having a 1200 ute sprayed? i was going to do it myself but have just decided to get someone to do it.
all im looking at for the moment is a flat colour and i have had a few prices come back some more outrageous than others.
any feedback appreciated cheers
