Around $250 per removable panel, closed door resprays start around $3k up.

Iirc that includes panel prep but not panel beating.
Pdr for minor dents is $70+ per panel.

Panel prep ensures a smooth finish, that and rubbing back between coats is 90% of the labour...

Preparation is where most of the money is spent.

Painting cost also depends on the colour of the car. 3 layer pearl paints are going to cost more than solid colour and clear.
Blending new paint onto surrounding panels can give a much better match and also adds to the cost.

$400 At my (Place of work) shop, done properly, but if guards need blending for certain colors then it gets dearer 2-$300 a panel, R&R included.

Have a similar question.

How much would it cost to have my faded rear tailgate garnish and boot spoiler (top section of boot) resprayed from my GT-B wagon?
