How much would it cost to paint a 1998 Ford Explorer black?

Well I was thinking of buying and painting a lightish green 1998 ford explorer black because it looks terrible but I was wondering how much it would cost me here in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.How much would it cost to paint a 1998 Ford Explorer black?While I've never actually repainted a car, I was thinking about it awhile back and the price really seems to depend on where you go and what quality you want from my research.



For example, I seem to remember that a "cheap" place like Maaco (in the states, not sure of an Australia equiv) could cost as little as 200-300 or so USD. Their quality may not be that great though as I read quite a few people saying they did a terrible job, it faded quickly, it peeled off, etc... A higher quality shop though can easily run 500, 1,000, (again in USD) or more.



I don't know if it'd be a 1:1 conversion for price, however the moral of the story (if you will) is that repainting a car isn't cheap. For a car the size of a ford explorer, I would certainly error on the high side of things though. Most of what you pay for is taking apart and putting the car back together, and on a car like that it isn't a "quick" process.How much would it cost to paint a 1998 Ford Explorer black?exspensive. your 98 explorer is not worth painting no matter how good of shape its in. its no honda jus drive it. door jams an all $800 here in chatt. tn.
