Body resto costs

The biggest expense is labor but you already know this . My paint and body cost me $12,000 which included : blasting , undercarriage prep, paint and clear , doors , trunk and fenders painted off car and assembled , metallic single stage with clear and dual stripes buried in clear . Never take your car to a crash body shop . You don't want production work . You want superior work . Oh , mine included etch prime and sealer . Expect to pay between $10k-$20k , imo
