    yep...that's the one...with a very interesting colour combination and, no, I will never re-paint Kaiser I was merely wondering if 2-door makes any $$$ difference versus 4-door...I guess not, it's equally expensive.

    Like the man said, there is a huge spread on prices when it comes to paint. be largly disassembled. ie. glass out, all rubber moldings,door handles, trim moldings marker lights head lights wheel well liners tail lights badges wings bumpers etc. etc. if it's a truck, the bed comes off and apart. fenders and doors off. There is more but you get the idea that these things are not happening cheaply, and we've yet to sand, prep, or paint a single thing. After painting the paint is wet sanded, cut, then buffed to Maser perfection. This is a good reshoot in a nutshell.Expect to be handed a bill for around 4 large (if we used PPG or Sherwin Williams) Different paints can multiply that 4000 dollar figure several times over. A bare metal respray is more. Anyone starts taping anything off on your vehicle (like the Maco ad) take your car and run! Save the scratch an' squirt for the Cutlass Ciera. I do this every day all day... any paint questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Wayne-Flagler Collision

    Chopper, where is your shop located? You sound like a good guy to know if I ever need bodywork!
