Hi,

river: is that a full spray job, inside and out (engine bay, door inners, boot etc) or just the visible stuff?
I'm looking for a respray at the moment as well.. group buy?

No, it's just the visible stuff. The inside of the doors, engine bay etc are clean and in good condition. If I wasn't getting the dings done or the rust fixed (with metal weld finish) or the radiator/fan shroud and air-box done, then I'd guess it'd be a bit cheaper.
I am not willing to fork over tens of thousands (which is waht full concourse showcase paint jobs would cost), but I am also loathe to do it cheaply and find in a few years the paint is not looking so hot.
Anyone who's seen myu car reckon the paint looks pretty good still and that was from when it was resprayed back in 1989 - so it's 16yo paint job on it at the moment. I gotta admit it's held up pretty well and, when including inflation, equates to about $6000 spray job.
I guess it all comes down to how much you want to spend, how long do you want the paint to last and how good a finish/job do you want. In my case, being a rare car and having owned it for over 30years, and wishing to keep it looking shmick, I'm looking for a reputable company which has done good work, is recommended by various people and seem honest. I have found such a paint shop, but I'm still getting other quotes just to reassure myself and get a better confirmation of the going rate for this type of job.
