with all the nice parts on that car it would be a shame to have anything less then a paint job to match.

Think about it- when we see a car at a show we want to look at closer- its the paint that draws you over- no one has ever walked up to a car close because they saw some killer body work before the paint....dont scrimp on the largest part of what is seen....

Location is everything! I called a guy here locally in SoCal a couple weeks ago and he wanted 3k just to spray a new hood! Granted this guy is really good at what he does but 3k just for a hood! I almost fell of out of my car.

Paint jobs are only as good as the products used. I agree with Craig you will spend almost the $6000 on paint primer sandpaper and buffing supplies.
