Not that I ever considered my car a POS, but the body wasn't the greatest...

How much does your shop charge for a paintjob Wherm? Solid color, two stage, with minimal bodywork (minor dings). Just out of curiosity. I'm just looking for a ballpark figure.

Unfortunately i couldn't say, I just do the bodywork, don't see many dollar figures. If you wanted the dings fixed, car primered, flat sanded, sprayed with base/clear, probably looking between 2500-3000. That would be the jambs too, excluding the engine bay. Body labor is $58/hr, paint is $58/hr, and materials are about $35/hr. It's pricey to have this stuff done, but rates will vary from shop to shop. Most places will give you a free estimate.

P.S. Finding someone to do it on the side is a good route to go...
