Hey fish, you can have ticket # 1.

Seriously, I am considering doing some paint work on the side, I used to do it years ago, but I got fed up with all the people that want a show car finish for a Maaco price. I would only do COOL cars, hot rods, etc. those guys understand what is involved.
 
Hasn't changed any. People still think you can paint a car for 1500.00...LOL

tin,, sorry i cant be number #1 unless your not opening the doors for a year or 2...not going to do any up grades to the fish till i sort out my street rod,,,but i will keep you in mind,for sure
 
Wow 1500.
The companies around here want 6000.00 for only color only.
Add two more colors and well you get the idea
 
Unfortunately, paint jobs are not cheap, I have seen a lot of nice cars with lousy paint. But you have to remember, that the first thing everybody sees, is the paint. A lot of guys dump tons of money in the motor and drivetrain, then when it comes time for body & paint, their broke. That's OK for a race car, but not a street, show car. If you have a decent car, with a good body, you should budget about 10K that should get your car looking like something you can be proud of.
 
Thats pretty much spot on.

well tin you know all the time and labor you put into just the body and paint on your build alone. there's no magic wand. if its worth doing its worth over doing

It's not gonna forever be an actual rust bucket, just for now. I plan to make it look the same after body work. I prefer having a sleeper and the assumed underdog
