I have to agree with Mr. Hale [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] on all points.

You have to compare apples to apples. There's having your car PAINTED and there's doing a Restoration....painting the car is a small part of the Restoration IMO. and You get what you pay for...Nuff said [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

Hey Mike, thanks. At least somebody does. Im just mad because I got docked 2 stars from this post I think. Darn. Car looks good.(not being sarcastic) If the paint stays on it for the next couple years you did a fine job. My materials bill is way more than that what you paid. BTW, what paint is on it? PPG, DuPont, etc?

I'm pretty sure it's dupont. I think that's all that the bodyshop uses. Not 100% sure, but I seem to remember seeing a Dupont label on some of the cans in the mixing room. I wish it could've been PPG, but I wasn't gonna pay the extra price. It's not easy repainting a car on a very tight budget, while still getting a quality job, but I think I did the best that I could. Time will tell!
