Well I got a shot of Redemprion today.
I took my Truck to a Custom Paint Shop about 20 miles from my House.
I've seen this shops work around town and at all the local Car Shows.
He told me that if HE painted it, he would give me an Estimate up front in writing and once I left his shop, that was it..no less...no more.
He also said it would be about 3-5 weeks to complete it.
He would take off the Doors, Hood, Cowl, Bed, Front/Rear Windows, and spray it all seperatly and bolt it back on, adjust, install Weather Stripping, Door Felts ect.
He would order the paint and spray a "Test Panel" for me to look at,
when I dropped the Truck off to make sure I liked the color.
Bottom line was $6K OTD.
I can live with that.
The "Other" shop wanted to mask everything off and leave the Bed on and they
HOPED they could do it for $6K!!!
This is what I was looking for all along.
The BAD NEWS (if theres any) is that he can't take it until End of October/Mid November, because he's currently doing a restoration on a 70 C-10.
