There shop is very well run with a number of cars going through an almost assembly line like process. They also came and picked the car up. The car was stripped to bare metal and painted almost perfect mirror black. I kept a running credit balance with these guys to keep my car at the front of line, I wouldn't do it like that again. It was dirty expensive, there bid was 11K, it ended up around 14K. No rust, very straight, didn't have to paint the hood, deck, or wiper cowl. Yikes.

Remember you get what you pay for at a body shop. Price seems about right for a decent job. I have spent a lot more than that for my own black paint job.
