How much for quality paint?

Jack,

These restoration body shops really low-ball the work!! My estimate was $8-9K if only small amount of body work was needed. Well, after they stripped it, it was confirmed that the car was really in excellent condition - no panels needed, just a patch on the front fender and some fiberglass filler. Followed then by 3 weeks of "smoothing" it out.

The plus side was that they finished the entire job in 8 weeks - in time for me to have the car back on the road this summer. And they are also giving me a "free touchup" after the car gets re-assembled. Well, yea.. they better at that price!
