No motor. And compartment is striped bare has been blasted and etched/primed. Under the hood is pretty nice. No pits and has nice paint. No rust holes or dents. what would be a fair price to shoot front of rad. Support inside engine compart. Hood hinges (alread blasted and primed) bottom side of hood black. Base/clear....

$800 to $1000.

down here for a base clear setup it cost $400

Around a 1000 for a good quality job, or buy the materials and paint it yourself The hard part is done.

I'd take it to the local MAACO..........I never understood the compulsion to have perfect underhood paint.........isn't worth the price or the hassle...makes working on the car much more stressful when blankets are covering everything!

Or just do it yourself....not rocket science at all....use single stage.

Go get some paint mixed up at the auto paint place. They'll even put it in spray cans for you.

Or. Get a pint of paint, some hardener and reducer. It'll cost less than a hundred bucks. Put it in one of these.



Available at your local hardware store for about eight bucks. I did mine this way. It took two aerosol units to do. Almost twenty years later it's still as good as the day I applied it.

Assuming no expectation of body work at all, a reasonable body shop should be able to do it for 500 bucks. Also depends on the quality level of materials used. Base and clear can cost a LOT if someone insists on top shelf materials.

BC CC makes no sense to me for a motor compartment.
IMO asking for 2 stage under the hood is like asking to get "bent over".

You have that big shop, what do you do with it?

I had my engine compartment redone about 6 years ago at a local body guy's place who specializes in Mopars.

The engine compartment was totally rust/damage free but had a terrible rattle can paint job.

Took the rolling body to the shop.

They removed all wiring, wiper and blower motors, master cylinder and brake lines etc.

Stripped all the paint off to bare metal and repainted all the way up to the windshield with base/clear.

Reinstalled everything they removed.

Paid $1250 for entire job.

Due to my neck and back problems had a great friend clean and power wash underhood and wheel wells for me (Thanks Tony!). Then brought the car to a local shop in town and he did BC in Black. Compartment,under side of hood and into wheelwells. $1000.
Was very happy with the results.

I used Nason Acrylic Urethane single stage. About $200 in materials and sprayed it in my driveway. The key is in the prep.

Another.

If you did all the prep and I had to shoot the primer and bc/cc on the engine compartment and you supply the materials needed I would charge you $500.

Also why on earth would anyone want to shoot their compartment with single stage. With the far better results of bc/cc and the quality of todays paints I never shoot single stage on a car. Only on parts.

On the preval set up I would never try to paint an engine compartment or truck with one of those. Just get a small compressor and a touch up gun. Way better results and then you have the ability to paint everything. Using a preval you just can't get enough paint on the surface and you will have overspray lines.

Trunk I just did
