The paint job ran me $700. Basecoat/clearcoat. I
took the car to my paintman , he disassembled the car, did what little bodywork
it needed (very little , maybe 4-5 extremely small door dings), removed the side
moldings, and painted the car. I reassembled the car, and I am having it
wetsanded and buffed later this week (this will cost me an additional $150). In
my neck of the woods, comparable work at a shop could easily run double this if
not more. My painter has a shop at his house, and has very low overhead,
and lives in a somewhat rural area. He has been doing paintwork for me for
several years. He knows the quality of work that I expect, and has a good eye
for detail, and is very reasonable in his pricing. After the wetsanding and
buffing, the cars turn out very slick. I have had nothing but good luck
using him, but then he knows the price ranges that I want to stay in, and also
the standard to whick I like the work to be done.
