Hi rdrkt,
That certainly looks like a very nice job!
You should consider posting about what the paint job cost, and what that included, since folks are often asking about prices for paint jobs.
This LOOKS like it wasn't one of the "scuff & shoot" jobs we hear so much about!
You must be pretty pleased!
Regards,
Alan

Thanks for the compliments guys. Its really hard to say what it cost because I did all the body work myself and with a lot of VERY GOOD advice from DUB and a friend sprayed it. The material for doing the body work and the paint was almost 3 grand It has 3 coats of base and 4 coats of clear. So when these pros on the forum say 10-12 grand for a good paint job they earn every penny of it believe me.

Hi rdrk,
Those are certainly the numbers I think of when I see an excellent paint job!
Have fun putting it back together. That can be very nerve racking, but also quite a pleasure!
Regards,
Alan

You better get used to signaling every lane change and doing 5 under the limit - you aren't going to sneak by anybody in that!
