The shop who is doing my Mustang quoted me around 275- 300 hours(after metal panel rust replacement) to put the car in various sealers and primers primer, bondo work, get gaps correct etc , materials, paint and buff and install front window and side windows. I've had people say you can get a quality paint job for 5-6k lol. |

Shop doing my car = $65 per hour. aprox $20k to paint the car (not including rust repair they did) I had quotes from 3 other shops and they were all within $2-2500k of each other. The guys quoting me 8k to paint it worked out of their backyard garage at night..no insurance, no guarantee, who knows what quality of materials, I'm sure under the table no taxes paid, who knows when it would get done. A friend went this route with his street rod. 1/2 of the way through the guy said he has family problems(divorce) and to come get the car within in 2 days as he was moving out.
