1800 dollar.... In the US perhaps.

This kind of paint (flip flop or chromaflair as Nissan calls it) is between 500 and a 1000 euro per litre.
Than the labour at 70-80 euro an hour.
I would say the minimum price for a good paintjob with this kind of paint would be at least 3000 euro (2150 pounds/3600 dollar).

I've seen OEM paintjobs on US cars here in Holland and the clearcoat just drops off after 10 years. This is not the quality we are used to in Europe.

Cheers,
Peter
