Hi all!!
Well this weekend I am hoping to begin the tear down on my car. After it is torn down (which will take a couple of weekends I am sure) I would like to get the car media blasted... Can you do that home?? or will it make a huge mess?? I am also wondering how much a body shop would charge but I really didint know if there is a decent one in the south Jersey area? Does anyone know of one??? |

yes - there is no upper bound on a $200 paint job ... good luck with everything - you have come to the right place for help, advice, and moral support. i'd suggest you plan on coming over to the Hershey Swap Meet in a couple of weekends (Apr 23) and check out the cars and talk to the people. i haven't been here long wnough to know any of the restoration shops other than Bruce Baker (who is one of the country's top 356 guys) nor the reputable paint & body works. good paint is expensive, and preparation is key. cheap paint is junk and will look like it fairly soon (as you have seen). go check out what a quart of Guard's Red Sikkens or Glasurit is going for... yellows shouldn't be quite as expensive - or so i hope - i have a Canary (2910) car ... |
