a $1000 paint job means your problems will just come back....Keep saving and you'll be happier with a proper restoration....

[ekvtec]

How much will a decent restore cost?

[996cabby]

it really all depends on where you go and who you know......my restoration took 75 hrs, do the math.....It's amazing what you'll find when things are taken apart.....be expecting to spend $2500-$4500 easy......It all depends on how bad your car is...

how bad was ur car to begin with

[996cabby]

actually my car wasn't bad.....I was just anal.....

rust at the QTR pannel, side skirt rust and I believe will fall off after this winter, other than that is ok.....paint had been oxidized...that about it

a shit job is 1900 and less
2000+ is getting better
then it comes down to how and what you want done

proper color change where everything comes off will run anywhere from 3-10

then what paint and colour,perls and mettalics cost more

a job like mine would cost close to 4g's for all the labour plus the paint itself which is valued at jus over 9g's

do it all yourself and U save mad money.... everything cost me 300 cause the paint was free

[ekvtec]

Reason I ask is a shop(refer by my friend) quotes me 1600 includes sand out all the rust and paint....

Rust removal plus paint will run you in for $3,500-$5,000.
