Muscle car paint appearance

[x33rs]

That's close to the going rate around me here in Arizona. 2 shops within a 15 mile radius of me charge $18k to $20K for a high quality paint job. That doesn't include panel repair or replacement to get the car ready. I've always thought that was a bit much but it's become the norm the last few years. I understand they have some overhead too. I'm quite a bit cheaper than that by a large margin which is one reason why I'm so busy.
