but keep in mind if you ever decide to do anything else there is not only the factory sealer, e coat, base and clear, now there is primer, more sealer, more base coat more clear, which in turn will cost more money to take off what another shop did
also keep this in mind too body and paint labor up here is 48 a book hour, restoration is over 100, custom work too, so pricing down in the sticks is going to be different then coming to chicago
i really dont think im that expensive around here my pricing is competitvie to allot of shop in the area, the cost of material has sky rocketed through the roof so i have to price accordingly
but best of luck to you

That's fair. Really, my paint overall is in really good condition. My hood has chips and my roof and deck lid have some scratching but otherwise everything is still glossy and whole.
My thought is, I need the kit painted and it will be, but he won't be painting underneath the kit. This means that the hood and fenders will all be painted as well as the top portion of each bumper cover and the top half of each door and quarter panel. In the long run, I could buy a new dog house and bumper covers for the car to avoid having the double paint work if I decide to drop the cash on a REAL paint job later.
I want the kit to be installed properly and the paint for the kit to be matched. On another note... I was told that a two tone would look sweet on my car. I can only think of using black or forest green as a two tone. One guy suggested gold. Any thoughts bdy?
