Default Painting a 1980

Anyone know a good body/paint shop in the Westchester County, NY area? How much would a paint job cost, with no body work involved. Thanks.

Not sure about your area but there are paint jobs, good paint jobs and looks like it just rolled off the factory line paint jobs... About 7-8 years ago I looked into painting my '81. I found what was supposed to be the most competitivly priced paint shop in the area, took the car to them and told them I wanted it stripped down to fiberglass,fix a few small cracks in the front end, resealed and sprayed with Sebring Silver. They quoted me just over $8000. The cheapest place I found wanted just over $6000. I only payed $6000 when i bought the car. lol

Now, 8 years later, it still is wearing the same paint it was the day I bought it... lol
