Default Paint estimate

Took the 75 to one of the best body/paint man in the area today. Need to get my new rear bumper cover, front original bumper cover, and the hood repainted. Going to go with lacquer to match the original paint on the rest of the car. Gave me a price of $500. I said I can leave it now if you want. I thought it would be much more! Maybe New years Eve was a good day to see him. Taking it on the 15 th. Sound like a good deal to me,what do you guys think?

Sounds like a real good deal too me- why not have him do the whole car sounds like it wouldn't be much more and are you going to replace the front bumper? seeing that's the original you might have a problem with it. Good luck let us know---

He checked the front bumper over real good today. Said it looked solid. He has done alot of the C3,s said he hasn't done many fronts, but lots of rears. He had a beautiful 73 painted sunset orange in the garage today. What a beauty it was!
