Cost to reprint stock 911 sc

What authentic range for this? No repairs not dents. Just a full reprint.

From the people I've spoken with, there is a wide range from $2,000 to $15,000.

Is there a sweet spot here?

*Paint
Reprint was confusing.

That being said most of the money spent on paint is spent on prep, use a quality shop that will let you see previous work they have done. For a good repaint with "no" body work I could easily see 5k

SC Paint

When I had my SC repainted, I did all of the disassembly and reassembly. The body was in good shape with no major dents, just a few small dings. Cost for the minor body work and paint was right at $4,400. The shop had the car for almost exactly one month. Turned out great! Color is black metallic.

Paint supplies are at least $2K for decent stuff. $500 bucks a gallon and up for most paint these days.

That's BS. Glasurit 22 line is only $170 per quart.

Seriously - plus a buck and a quarter for the 929 hardener and $75 or so for a gallon of Glasurit reducer. Pushing a long one just for the color coat.

$500/gallon < $170/qt.... I think you are both right - paint and supplies are not cheap.

Not if you are ignoring quantity.

Green color on text means you are just being silly or sarcastic.

BASF makes Glasurit, R-M and Limco paint systems. The store I get my paint from said that the R-M Diamont Basecoat/Clearcoat system is the same as Glasurit except it's made in several different locations whereas Glasurit is made in one place. They said this assures the Glasurit customer will get the exact same color time and time again but Diamont could have shading differences.

I have no way to verify this but they could have sold me more expensive paint but chose not to.

I just looked up the OP's color. Silver. That is BC/CC - not 22 Line.

I like Diamont. I use it on nicer Akron cars.

So lucky to have a BASF jobber 10 miles away.

paint

Mr. Walker is correct.
i bought the paint direct with at 10% discount and cost close to 2000 for 2 gallons of glasurit-22 with hardeners, etc.
i could have saved 300 hundred on the next lower line but after grinding, bead blasting, sanding and doing all that prep work i figured may as well go with what is considered to be the best for these cars.

Remember certain colors are more expensive as well. Red is expensive.

But there are great paints at much better prices than Glasurit. There are many good quality paints at affordable prices.

I used Lesanol for my Prussian blue '86, much cheaper than Glasurit and a great paint at a great price. Easily good enough for your SC.

It looked as good as the day i painted it (8 years prior) when that lady rear ended me.

I like Diamont too Bob, it's good stuff and lasts a long time.

Painting a car properly has always been expensive but you get way more for your money today IMO.

The modern two part paints are incredible and almost indestructible compared to the older acrylic lacquers or enamels.
They take less time to do and the results speak for themselves but you need a proper spray booth to do a decent job.

Back in the 80s I must have repainted 20+ cars in my garage using acrylic lacquer. It was super easy.
I wouldn't even try it with two pack. Maybe a small section only but definitely not a full car.

glasso prices

hi don, my experience is that different colours of glasso are different prices. meaning red tints or high solid clears are more. i pay near $100 for a quart of high solids clear topcoat here in Hawaii, but i'd think that's not representative of the rest of the country. . it takes about 2-3 quarts or so of clear to shoot a 911. plus hardener, basecoat and reducer costs. plus equipment. that's after it's prepped properly, another 30-75 hours or more. it's a spendy job to do properly. glasso is absolutely the finest material on the market imho. sikkens second and then ppg deltron. cheers, g

About a year ago I was quoted $3500 for a two stage paint job in the same color. Quote did not include disassembly or reassembly.

mhnn

a two stage paint quote doesn't guarantee materials. have you seen blistered clear? it's generally poor material. never with top shelf materials. the clear has to be shot after the basecoat flashes as well, not the next day. check what system and/or materials your painter is using.
all my experience is from my biz partner in Torrance in the day who was glasso certified. he did 5 years in the guilds as an apprentice in Birmingham to learn his trade. i absorbed what i could.
let's not compare apples and oranges.
cheers, geoff

The shop that gave me a quote has a lot of old Porsche business as they are located next to a Porsche Indy repair shop. They use PPG - good quality paint. As stated before, two stage is superior.

Most everyday folks are nursing 2000 Oldsmobile Alero's, lots of Ford Tauruses and old F150's. Maybe a 2005 Ford Fusion. These are not "nice" Akron cars.

I have a customer with a beautiful 2004 Lexus GS 300 Sport Edition. Black on Black. Garage kept in winter. That would be worthy of good quality paint.

I joke about Akron but there is a smidgeon of money here but for the most part, it's blue collar. I am surrounded by guys in my complex that are in their 50's that have been displaced and are doing it on their own. Yard stuff, bathrooms, deck sealant, car detailing. Industrious dudes with no place to go.

It's been an enlightening couple of years learning how to bottom slice, though. Not there yet - skin is too thin.

Nothing like the real deal.

Note floor color.
