Message	I remember in the mid 80's when I had a Glasurit paint job done on my RX-7 for $1250 (with a bit of body work included). That was at a very high end shop and all the money back then. Glasurit was brand new in the US and hardly anyone was using it yet (Amerflint and Imron were still in Vogue). No wonder I'm so old school- I miss those days ;-)
