Hi,
Here is another data point on paint jobs. I found a guy who paints cars in
his spare time, and actually has his own paint booth on his property. I paid
him $4200 to paint my TR6. About half of that was for body work - new front
and rear valances welded in and repair of various minor dents from the car's
history. I completely disassembled everything and stripped the paint off with
a combination of sanding, paint stripper, and walnut shell blasting before
giving it to him.
The paint turned out very well - not a show car finish, but it looks really
nice.
I had gotten other quotes as high as $9500. This is in the San Francisco Bay
Area, which I have to think has higher than average costs. My painter was
closer to Sacramento.
