Looks like it's coming along nice. Are you doing the work yourself? I've been looking at getting my car repainted and am unsure of what it will cost.

The previous owner didn't take very good care of the paint...
Not to mention it's that teal color that I'm not really very fond of.

My car is in the body shop as well , tagged the front and the almost totaled it.
The progress looks really good, when they say they are done, do not accept it until you look over every inch with them there.

Cool

Ya make me want to call my body man. He's had my car for 3 weeks. Can't wait to get it back. It should be a few more weeks as they had to replace the right rear quarter and I'm changing the color from green to bright red with 35th anniversary SS stripes.

depends if it needs filler or not if you just need to be ruffed and sprayed your probably lookin at 1000 for a shop to do it and about 4 to 500 for your self to do it. im painting mine after i get my cam and stuff in, its time consuming!!! but worth it!!!
