Re: Paint Quote - What is Reasonable?

Yeah that price doesnt shock me. the materials to paint my 68 were around 2-3 grand and that was with me reusing stuff from the 71 my grandfather had just built. The labor is very high regardless of what they are doing so that adds up fast.

Also as 72c20customcamper mentioned alot of shops these days dont want to touch projects that scuff and shoot or at minimum stripping a truck to bare metal and going from there. I know shops around me wont touch a classic unless they do the whole process and then your talking $20-30k.
