Give the man a cigar, he guessed right, it would be in the $3500 range or so.



I know body shops that charge $2000 for a paint job. No taking apart, spot priming, no wet sanding and polishing, no painting of moldings,mirrors, **** like that, and its a crap shoot if they will use a brand name clear.



Trend is for alot of shops to skimp on the clear by using alot of these cheap clears that are out on the market now. A good line is "this is what they use in Germany, you never heard of it here because it just came to this country", you can insert any country in there, Italy is another good one they use, lol.



Money can be saved by taking the car apart and putting it back together by the owner. Also a note: I usually use 1 of 2 friends shops with paint booths when it comes time for full jobs and dont usually do it in my shop. Only prep is done in my shop then I borrow a booth to cut down on any dust. [/quote]

Thats not bad at all, good paints jobs usually are 4k. Next time I paint my car I will atleast spend that, or hmmm maybe i could use macco,LOL!
