Anywhere from $2,000-$12,000

Totally depends on what you want done, how it's done.

What products are used, what new parts are/are not sourced.

Quality of the job etc etc.

i'm just wondering if you want to get a paint job as good as the origional, how much would it cost?

I recently did my GTS-R back to factory (see sig for the link to the video, you can see the quality).

Just in trims, moulds, rubbers etc etc was over $2,000 from Nissan brand new.

I couldn't justify putting the 20-25yo trims/moulds/rubbers on a brilliant paint job when restoring a car

So as i said, totally depends on what you want. If you wanted to use the stuff you have now, you'd save such costs but then the body would look like new, yet the plastic/rubber would all be 10-15yrs old, weathered and that type of thing.

You might sand back a panel and find out it's been in some damage, needs repair and all of a sudden you get a $500 extra added on for instance.

I mean some places will just respray the car for $1500 - but don't expect it to be a brilliant job. You will certainly find things you are not happy with, over time the paint can fade/peale tc. But for $1500 you can't complain @ that price.

Only you can decide

I think he is refering to the window seal rubbers etc, and i'd dare say for a decent spray job your looking at least $5,000 +

ok thanks mate,

i wouldnt be looking to replace anything like that (just tape them off accurately)

just a sand, prep, prime ect, paint.

do you want a closed door respray (one where when you open the door the inside of the doors is a different colour to the outside of the car) or a proper job where inside the doors, boot, bonnet, etc are all done too? this will determine the price. also depends on whether you want it painted with 2-pack or basic acrylic. this will determine how much of a shine the paint has as well as how resistant it is to chipping, etc.

well ive got these hard plastic door trim that things say skyline on both doors and there quite large so if i decided to go black, being my car is already a dark blue you wouldnt notice the difference to much, i think it wouldnt look to bad seeing as the paint you dont see when you look at my car is the best looking paint on the car, haha.

and it would suit the style of the interior.
