My B-I-L got all bodywork sanding and paint with graphics and clearcoat over for $9,000.00. He has had the car painted for 2 years and now the paint is starting to turn foggy.The painter is known for good work and has done quite a few cars locally.His bodywork is impecable but the paint he has done seems to have some problems.
The painter is blaming the paint and the paint manufacturer claims no problems with the batch used.The only good thing is that the body work was probably worth $6,000.00-7,000.00.
My B-I-L figure he got a $2,000.00 paint job so even though he is going to repaint, he plans on a different painter and brand of paint.He probably got his moneys worth but it still wasn't what he expected or "assumed" he was being quoted.

Still if B-I-L offers me his '39 Chevy I'm takin it.
