Looking for body guys who could help me out

The color of the paint makes a difference also. I chose a bright red and the paint alone was almost $1,000 with the total body shop bill of $6,000 which included some rust repair and install 2 new rear quarter panels. I removed most of trim and did some sanding and prep work. If you can strip car, it will save you some money. Other option is to have students at an auto tech college paint it. Good luck with project.
