Hello:
Since we are on the subject of paint, let me add my 2 cents worth, now i'm not a painter and don't claim to be expert on the subject. A lot of numbers go by when you talk of full restoration on a car. I hear a lot of talk these days of full restorations going for between 25K and 45K. If you consider that a very decent paint job is going to cost you around $12k to $20K on a car that needs full prep. (not fresh restored) Then we are looking at around $10K to $20K on a full restore. (should be a little less because most of prep work was done during restore.)
That leaves us with about $13K to $25K for body / interior / drive train / suspension brakes.
That looks like a awful lot of work for $13 to $20K.
For your information my car has been repainted back to factory color. I like it the way it is
now. It was in pretty tough shape.
Thanks
Maynard
