Hey guys, now that the ABM is going to be removed from the color palette, would anyone know roughly how much it would cost (including labor) to paint the car ABM, and how much it would cost to paint only the top ABM (two tone)? Thanks guys!

A complete repaint from another color would probably look like crap, because some part will still be the other color (ie the engine bay)... It would be better to do like Summit White with top half in ABM... But either way this will cost A LOT....

A two-tone paint works really with the camaro body lines. The cost would run anywhere from 3500 to 6000. Most of the time you pay for what you get. Do your homework on the paintshops.

To do it right will run 7k-12k depending on the shop. Taking out the engine and fully disassembly of the car.

I would suggest you look for a used one by the time you want to buy...

I repainted and changed colors on my C5 Corvette. Total cost with HOK Kandy was 15k. (paint alone was 4500)

thats pretty damn pricey for something that will make it lose value in the future (if it ever even does hold its value) Thanks guys, looks like i wont be painting or two toning it if i get it. Hm, i have lost my urge to get it now that theres no ABM, the other colors dont strike me sadly.
