MackTheFinger Posted December 28, 2020 Report Share Posted December 28, 2020 Paint and bodywork is my favorite part of the hobby. I was fortunate to have friends in the business who helped me learn. With today's material prices and according to where you live I can easily see how you could expect to pay $6-10k for a good professional job.

MarcDeSoto Posted December 28, 2020 Report Share Posted December 28, 2020 That's why I'm going to paint my car myself. Good old Self Reliance! As long as I get a few runs, like the originals had, I'll be happy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger Posted December 28, 2020 Report Share Posted December 28, 2020 I’ve always done my own body and paint work. The results are driver quality. Like MarcDeSoto, as long as I get a few runs like the originals, I’m happy. You just need to do one yourself to understand why a paint job is expensive. Prep and paint is a hell of a lot of work! I have one more to paint, then I’m done. Looking back at my lack of PPE when I was young and dumb I’m thankful to be 70. The new stuff scares me.
