How much do you want to spend? A car like the Monte which needs nothing but paint (no body work) would cost about $4,000.00 if you want a quality paint job. This would reflect a dealer price and quality shops. If it is a color change and you want door jams, trunk and hood rails painted plan on alot of greenbacks.
On the other hand I had a friend that had his Intreped painted a few weeks ago and he paid $795.00. They did a fair job, but you get what you pay for.

Well when old Henry (can't bring myself to say this word) started building cars he said young man you can have any color you want as long as it's BLACK

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! You poor Bastard... BLACK... Boy, the Honeymoon will end quickly with that choice!
I spend 4-6-hours a week, just trying to keep my Black Monte looking good. Where it would only take 2-hours a week if I had a white car, and may be,3-hrs for a Silver, Red, Yellow, etc. The only other color that needs all the TLC a Black needs is Dark Blue.
Well... Kiss your real-life goodby... cause your car is going to take over!
