Greetings - always nice to see another LBC P-car owner on here...
Anyway I believe there are some spray booths for rent over in Wilmington off of Anaheim Boulevard. Last time I was cycling over that way I saw them on the south side of the street and at some point I'll call over there to get rates and details. That's the way I'm probably going to go with my 911 - do all the prep here myself and then trailer the chassis and panels over there, shoot them and then reassemble everything here.
I simply don't trust anyone else to be as careful with my car as I'd be and even if they were, they'd probably be so insanely expensive I could never afford them.
A DIY job will give me a much better sense of accomplishment, I'll be 100% sure I'm getting what I want (right down to the original Glasurit paint and primer) and it will probably cost around $1000-$1500 whereas a "I-really-hope-this-guy-isn't-sheistering-me" comparable job at a high-end body shop would easily run north of $8000 (and yes, I've called for quotes).
Yes, it's a lot more work to do it myself, but darn it if I won't know it's done correctly! And I'll have pictures for the car records!
