Answer 1

a '69 bug? id give it the royal treatment, re-chome it and a $2,000 paint job

Answer 2

you can get a decent paint doing your own work for a few hundred dollars or take t to a shop for about $2000. ive even seen $50 roller paint jobs that looked good (not recommended however). the real trick really is all in the prep work, and doing the paint under the right conditions. so its $ and let it be someone elses problem. or save the $ but have a lot of patience. also be cautious of discount auto-body shops like maaco, you get what you pay for.

Answer 3

Miss The vw's of the year 1969 are nice but you will be seeing it in your local neighborhood shops for a lot of money spent in fixing it. When anything else is done to it its just money being spent on repairs. Need I say more in this experiance.? good luck

Answer 4

Depending on the amount of prep, and if you are doing the work yourself or having the body shop to do it.



The usual ballpark price can run between 500-3000 dollars.



This is is you want a two or one stage paint and a good clear coat on top of that.
