[QUOTE="Gilaguy23, post: 433314, member: 19498"] Years ago I had a 68 F250 painted. Locally the enviro worshipers) wanted $5000 to do it. I stripped,prepped and took it over to the industrial wasteland of Bakersfield Ca where a Macco shop painted for $350. I asked about the cost diff and was told Bako was grandfathered in with no current regs forcing them to use the HP LV equipment and enviroMentally approved, latest greatest paint booth the coastal shops were regulated to use. Granted this was quite some time ago however it still may apply to your location. Far as the paint job went....it looked pretty damn good. Unfortunately after it was all shiny and nice I found out how crappy of a body man I am. Id say for you any stripping of parts, cleaning/sanding of hard to reach areas you can do is a bonus. I think the labor hours of prep is where the make or break it cost comes from. [/QUOTE]
