Some things to know... That glittery paint job on the boat is most likely part of what is called a gelcoat. It's a thick layer of hard plasticky material. Since it has some thickness to it, it helps give the illusion of being really deep. However, with paint, this is harder to achieve. A good shop can do it, but just like anything else, you get what you pay for. Paint jobs with suspended solids like metallic flakes or glitter are hard to get right since it can wind up with unevenly distributed glitter.
With any paint job, the more the car is prepped prior to showing up at the shop, the cheaper it will be, since this is where the labor charges are. Your car will have to have the clear coat finish removed before it can be painted, which is labor intensive. I doubt you'd want to do that yourself since it would be easy to mess up the paint by sanding too far, but if you can, it's money saved. If you can mask the areas you don't want painted like the windows, wheel wells, etc..., you can save money. If you want a good job where they do all the work and give you a nice looking evenly distributed finish, I would expect to have to pay at least 2-3k. At least.How much would it cost to get my silver ford fusion painted pink?
