Question How much am i talking?

I have an 85 Ford Bronco. Been working on it awhile ( replaced tailgate, pass door ) Im looking at getting it painted in the next fews months. I need to have a little body work done to it ( right rear quarter panel is a little crunched and there is a dent in the roof ) How much will it cost? I dont want a super cheap paint job that wont last ( plan to take it offroad.. and get it dirty.. and muddy.. ) Also.. Currenly its Blue and White ( Tailgate is black.. and door is primered ) How much would it cost to get a solid blue? I want the doors painted ( inside part .. where there is still metal ) and i want the entire tail gate painted ( inside and out.. its a Bronco ) So after all this.. How much am i talking? Macco work for this kinda stuff? Dont want the best paint.. nor the worst.. You know what i mean. Thanks for the help

Price varies with the product used and quality of the job. Enamel is cheaper than the urethanes, but not as durable or repairable. It sound like being a offroader you may opt for the enamel at Macco. Just go in knowing that the quality is less, and be fully aware that they make their money with "add ons" and fast production. You could probaly get your job for 600 bucks, just my guess, good luck,

Sure, I dont know how many shops are in your town. I wouldnt rule out the "moonlighter" either. Some painters do this on the side, for pocket money. Its that old adage of "you get what you pay for". thats needs to be in mind, and just what is the final outcome you expect.
