Just kidding. Seriously, that doesn't sound like a bad price (probably $2500 US dollars). I had my car repainted for about $3k, including $1200 worth of bodywork to replace the rear bumper cover, spoiler, and patch up a cracked front fascia. The guy who did my car pointed out a couple of things that are unique to the Z. One is that all the urethane parts need to be painted differently than the less flexible parts- need to make sure the paint for the bottom of the car has a flex agent in it. The second thing he said is that he will never do a Z that cheaply again, because all the body panels are separated by little black rubber gaskets that shouldn't be painted over. Thus, he removed my power antenna, my door handles, et cetera, and he should do the same with yours in order for the job to be perfect. -John P
: I just received the WW urethane kit and I feel confident enough about installing it myself (although I have a few questions about that which I'll be posting soon).
: I asked them for an estimate for a full paint job including all moldings removal, quarter windows and windshield removal. Also, he said that he would pull all the dents and dings from both sides, take care of a nasty dent on my hood and remove 2 very bad rust bubbles. He would be using top quality DuPont paint. He estimated the cost at 4000$ 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
