Doing the painting yourself too? I'm getting prices of $8,000 and up to paint my '88. Clear coat is done and it needs to be sanded painted and shot.

Yes i did the painting myself also, i did a color change so the jambs had to be done also and some body panels repaired. I would estimated it would have cost me around 10k to pay for what i did. If your staying the same color and theres no body damage then 8k seems steep. Closer to 5k would seem appropriate.
