Depends what color, how much prep has to be done, how much after-paint work is done...depends on many things. I work at a collision center. We've run anywhere from as low as 200$ or so to paint a door to as much as 3 or 3.5K to do a whole truck that was done with a pearl-maroon, buffed twice, jambed, and everything.

If you're interested in having stuff done, let me know and bring it to the shop. If we start getting people up there, my manager will fold on price and give us the best pricing you'll find around...

Lowest maintenance color you'll find is a medium, or medium-light silver... Black and white are equally hard (I'd actually say black is a little harder to care for...)

Basically...rule of thumb is anything light and non-metallic will show dirt. Anything dark, non-metallic, will show scratches and dirt. Anything dark and metallic will show a decent amount of dirt, and major scratches. Anything light and metallic will show heavy dirt, and MAJOR scratches. Anything metallic will show dents.

Hope that helps guide you with a little bit of maintenance involved with colors...

The sexest EF is a RED EF, so keep it red and color match the bumper with the black molding.

Red would be easiest to paint again just sand it down a little and spray on the paint.
