I had them quote me to paint my 94Z

outside paint only, (no engine bay or interior) was going to be $800 with minimal prep.

to paint the entire car inside and out was going to run me $1700 and I'd have to pull the engine before I brought the car to them.

now, a very good friend of mine who lives in Kansas and paints for a living, has quoted me at $4800 for full bodywork (got a few dimples), prep and full inside, outside and underneath paint.

and I plan on having him do it. if I dont primer the car myself completely and call it a day.

Here's a few shots of his 95Z28 with an LS1 front conversion w/front gfx. painted by him. he's a bit of a perfectionist, but it pays off.
