paint job price

Sure why not... Have to learn sometime, especially if I'm doing more than one of these. Just cuz it's your first doesn't mean it has to suck. Could be great. Take your time, shoot some test panels, study, study, study, sand, sand, sand, and shoot, then sand some more.

And it may not be the best financial advice, but hanging out on sites like this tends to be worse I would bet.

I meant no offense Will, but not everybody has your skill set. I give you a lot of credit, don't know if I would take on a project as big as yours. Paint and body is near and dear to me, and it kills me to see so many nice cars at shows with such lousy paint. I know it's a lot of money to do it right, and it absolutely makes no sense to put a 10k paint job on a 5k car, but on a 100k car (like your's will be by the time your done) it deserves a high end job.
