Paint jail

[gkent]

$5k is not that expensive if the quality is there.

5k won't even cover supplies if you paint it red !!

Trust me I know, I bought 2 gallons of RR1 Burgandy, with primer, sealers, clear, and all the reducers, hardener etc. For damn near that much with a supplier discount.

Look at a bus or commercial vehicle.

Wraps cost in excess of $3000. I checked into it for a B body.
A buddy wrapped a 2010 Challenger for a promotion. Cost was $3800 and change.

OUCH !

 

[Scott Engelhardt]

10500 don't sound too bad.
I would haul the Plymouth in if I knew it would it be less than 15K

Doesn't look like jail to me. It's not in the corner with boxes stacked on it.

All the body work had been done, car was ready to prep and paint.

What gets me is guys will spend 20k on an engine and trans and won’t blink an eye but when you talk 5-10k for a paint job let the whining begin

Add on another 10-15000.00 or more for bodywork.

I’ve never spent 20 grand on an engine and I wish that top notch paint and body work only cost 5 or 10 grand.

That's because the paint doesn't get you past the guy next to you!

More painting has been done as of yesterday.

Cost ... if you have to ask, you can't afford it.
