to get an idea is to take your car to local shops and get estimates, have them look it over thoroughly (every car will need a little different amount of work). Just for starters: -DO NOT cheap out (macco is a joke) -plan on removing all the glass, fenders, bumpers and moldings -you may want to invest in new weather seals etc. -color changes generally devalue a car, and are more labor intensive (you need to repaint the sills and engine bay to make it right) -prices vary greatly depending on where you go
