A buddy of mine paints cars on the side so he did it on the side for me! I am really pleased on how it turned out for not taking it to a body shop! Plus with the body shop rates it is outrageous!

He had a total of 44 hours on it! I never imagined it took that long to paint a car! What really came as a shock to me was how much paint costs. I had $500.00 just in paint!

Zya, $500 seems like a lot, but I had over $1200 in paint & materials, so do not feel bad.

You pay for what you get, the side view looks good and original in the picture, but around the wheel wells and bumper trrim you see uneven lines. I prefer to get it done right, factory looking as these are classics now. I had my front bumper re done and looks just like the factory, smooth and no difference, perfect around foglights and etc. It cost 600.00! Andy
