Message	I just received the WW urethane kit and I feel confident enough about installing it myself (although I have a few questions about that which I'll be posting soon). I asked them for an estimate for a full paint job including all moldings removal, quarter windows and windshield removal. Also, he said that he would pull all the dents and dings from both sides, take care of a nasty dent on my hood and remove 2 very bad rust bubbles. He would be using top quality DuPont paint. He estimated the cost at 4000$ CDN plus tax but garanteed me a top-notch job (color's pearlglow Yellow with 2 extra coats of Clear). This was my first estimate and I'm not sure how reasonable the price is. He showed me the "average" car they work on and the orange peel on it was pathetic, but I have another meeting with him next week where he wants to show me his personal car, a '69 Mustang which he had repainted at the same shop....he told me to expect work practically as good as what they did with the Stang. Any thoughts? Thanks, George
