honestly.....its a $1200 paint job. It took the guy about a month and a half to do it. I took the car apart, and had all of the individual pieces painted, and then reassembled the car when i got it back. Of course i did the wetsanding/buffing on the car. Thats the biggest difference between a cheap paint job, and an expensive one. Paint was BASF Limco, with a higher quality clear. I have a couple of small issues, but the guy is going to fix it when i get my Yellowbird bumpers painted.
here is what it looked like when i bought the car last spring

here is what it looked like when i picked it up from the painter. BTW, this was done in a shed in his back yard, with NO junk in the paint at all.
