Custom Paint Job cost?

[grasshopper73]

I was wondering what a good paint job would cost for my jeep gladiator? I want to paint mine with the bikini pearl color….

Vinyl wrap?? Up here in Canada that would cost about $7000 cad. I just had the paint corrosion warranty fix on JTR and repainting hood and 4 doors was $8700 cad.

In my opinion, not worth it in a Jeep. The exposed internal roll bars, doors, etc. mean that you’d have to disassemble the whole car and prep for paint. That’s like a $10,000 job to start.

Outside spray? Easy a $5,000-$8,000 job. But then you’ll see the original paint everywhere and won’t feel OEM.

Whatever it costs, your Jeep will be worth less than before, just because it’s been painted.

I was quoted $5000 on my Tacoma four years ago, and that was painting the original color and clear.
I'd say $10,000 for a full color change and quality work now.
Maybe $7500 if you stop at the door edges.

Excellent point, the exterior paint is visible throughout the cabin and continues beneath trim pieces. There are so many nooks, crannies and odd surfaces that would be a nightmare to prep. I don’t love it but at least the gobi blends well with the local mud.

Yep vinyl wrap the outside for 4-5K and call it good.
