A full repaint, a color-matched panel after a collision or a custom color needs a shop with a paint booth, and not every body shop paints whole cars. Every shop here names auto painting or refinishing in its business name, listing or on its own website.

Ask how they match the color. Shops use the factory paint code and a spectrophotometer or spray-out cards to blend new paint into the panels next to it. For a full repaint, ask how many coats of clear go on and whether door jambs are included.

Good to know
How much does it cost to paint a car?
A budget single-stage repaint can start under $1,000, a quality basecoat/clearcoat job typically costs about $3,000–7,500, and custom or color-change work costs more. Dent and rust repair before painting adds to the price.
How long does a car paint job take?
A full repaint usually takes one to three weeks, depending on prep work and curing time; a single-panel repair can take a day or two.
