the factory does not repaint cars..all 3 of my cars were repainted by Maaco for $500 each, they look great, have a 5 year warranty and they turned them in one week, to completely change the color there is an additional fee since they do the door jambs etc...for a nice used car it's a viable option for the "average joe"...don't let those who have never had their car painted by them poo poo the idea
