Painting the E55

Would anyone how much it would cost to have the entire car re-painted? My 01 E55 is starting to show its age and since I am going to keep it for a while I was thinking of having it re-painted.

Any idea welcome. Thanks!

Should be around $3K to keep the same color and about $5K to change colors.

It's a huge range depending on the shop and the quality. Good quality paint job from a reputable shop could be any where from $3-5000 bucks.

Well damage is:

about $9K!!!!!!!!!!!!

I fell down! I asked them if it came with a lifetime warranty with free re-painting for life at that price.

You will save at least half if you locate a shop that will allow you to do all your own prep work. Good luck in your decision.

BTW, be thankful you're not painting a Gullwing....a concours paint job will run you $50K++
