OK I have found A painter for my car, he came out and looked at the car, and we chatted for about 3 hours. He is out of work right now, and doesnt have much on his plate. I have seen his work before, he is the type of guy, that will give you what you want. I know of cars he has painted for $500 total. Cheapy paint jobs that look good for a little while. But he can lay down some nice paint. He has over 20 years experience paint, and autobody. He is actually a old friend of my Father-in-laws. Anyways He has quoted me $1200 for labor. Which I think is a great deal. We have priced out paint, etc...looks like we can get it done for under $2K. He insisted on a econo line from Dupont (nason, or mason?) Anyways here is a few priced products. -$200 for a gallon of red base coat paint. -$200 for the Good Chromo clear -$130 for a gallon of fill primer he has also priced on some Value shade, and some sealer etc.... Looks like it will be in the $700-$800 range for materials... He said he will knock it out very quick... 3-4 weeks tops....He is getting the car by the middle of the week. He assured me it will be slick, I plan to take a a guy with me before the actual base coat will get applied to inspect or decide if anything need addressed or changed... The car will look good, again this is a race car, and function is what its about... I will post picks and updates when possible.. I havent looked back through the thread, but I remember some people thinking that material alone would be $3k...LOL
it all depends on the quality of the products you buy Bob. you can get a gallon of paint from summit for under a $100 . I would make up a written contract if I were you. just to protect yourself
