Got the second estimate on the car
Looks to be close to $3000 to shoot the whole car and fix all the damage......Not too bad two estimates around the 3k mark...Both guys have done extensive fiberglass paint work and restoration...So I guess I will be getting a new paint job :cheers: :cheers: Along with the body work needed

It's nice to know that getting hit can get you a custom paint job for $800. Not a bad deal! :cheers:

I'm sorry, but that doesn't sound like it will be too good of a paintjob for that little money. Is the body perfect otherwise (sans rear end), then it migh be a bit better, but certianly not show quality.

I appreciate your opinion however I am guessing that you do not know the shop or the painter or his experience....The body is pretty close to perfect so there is not a lot to do....I am not going for "show quality" since I like to drive my car and have never "shown it".. I will be posting pics so I will make sure the outcome is seen.. :cheers:

About $800 or so
Does your current paint job look as good as it does in your pics?
My paint is Baaaddddd! The clear coat gave up.

That sounds like a great deal! Mine's in the shop now... minor body work... replacing the front bumper... and full paint for $5,000. :crazy:

Alwyn,
Looks like you've got a result :) Good luck with it.
Did they give an estimate of how long it would take them to do?
:cheers:

Miker.......The paint was pretty good not perfect by far but it had a few bubbles and spider webs and cracks that have to be fixed
