Your two probable choices would be between two-stage solvent-based urethane that offers a more durable and versatile look or water-based, less toxic acrylic paints. So, your budget should include prep work like removing rust or dents and a high-quality paint job, which can average anywhere from $2000 - $4000.

It is important to note that the type of paint you will need will also depend on what kind of work needs to be done on your car.
