How much is it to have a car resprayed?
What is the cost to have a car painted? I own a small compact vehicle. I’m thinking of getting it painted again to restore the appearance.

Getting your vehicle painted again will certainly make it look shiny and new!
The
cost
of getting a car resprayed typically ranges between $200 to $1,000. The cost depends on two major factors:- the level of detail involved in the pre-painting process and
- the quality of the paint.
You don’t need to break the bank for your vehicle to be resprayed, but if you are on a tight budget and opt for a less expensive paint job, the preparation process will be minimal and you may not be satisfied with the end result.
The preparation process includes removing rust, repairing dents, sanding the surface, and so on. If you decide to pay more for a respray, there will be more time spent on the preparation process and the quality of the paint job will be significantly better.
It should be noted that if your paint is damaged due to rust or dents, address those issues first if you can only afford to do one thing. Painting over these problem areas will only make the appearance worse and more noticeable.
