I have to second Jon Mac=E2=80=99s comment about panel gaps. I think done if=
 use kind of get wrapped around the axle regarding panel fit, etc.
Regarding paint, I painted my TR4A about 5 years ago now and just the primer=
, base and clear was just under $1,000.00. Oh, don=E2=80=99t forget the air s=
upplied respirator, compressor and gun! Granted, I bought a lot of equipment=
 that I could have sold =E2=80=9Cto the next guy=E2=80=9D and I did but pain=
ting a car isn=E2=80=99t an inexpensive task regardless.
