Hi, i have a toyota landcruiser (88) i want to have the two tone blue and silver paint job redone. I am wondering how much this would run me, and i was wondering if you guys here could give me a ballpark estimate of what i could expect? Thanks

Is this a "I'm restoring my 88 cruiser and going to keep it for a long time" or "I just want it look good for a bit until I sell it?" A cheap paint job could run you as little as $300 - $400 assuming there isn't much, if any body work to be done. Now if you are restoring your FJ-60, then a new paint job with some body work could easily run you more than the bluebook value of the car. Average however, good quality with not too much body work, from a quality shop 2k-3k.

you can get a satisfactory job at a maaco for like 500 or less. assuming there isnt alot of body work to be done. I think the cost of getting a car painted is nuts, more than the effect is usally worth.
