1970 GTO the next project

[jasonL78]

I picked up my painting supplies yesterday. Just for color and clear for this car the bill came to 2180.00 that's with a discount on PPG. Now this isn't cheap color as the owner wanted a color with pearl in it. The blue he picked is called Heavenly Blue and the retail cost of the gallon was 1850.00 which to me is just crazy. He feels at this point what's another couple hundred dollars to get what he wants. Paint and clear have been averaging 1200-1500 for the last couple of cars I painted but it just seems materials for restorations are just way out of hand. This is why paint jobs are going for 10-20k depending on the level of work that is needed. Just crazy!
