^I pulled the trigger about 3 weeks ago she just needed major body work to be able to make it to paint. I ended up paying $2300 not including the parts I needed to buy. I agree that he should have pulled the lights prior to paint but this guy has been painting for my Dad for a while now and I haven't seen him do bad work so I'll just have to trust him. Smitty I should have noticed the monotone I was at work so I looked at it real quick I like it a lot from what I see. Still I was hoping to be the only monotone es at Carisle

The only reason I paid that much was because they guy does a lot of paint work for us. It would have cost about $4k because he has to bend a lot of parts back into shape. For you just to respray without any damage to fix it should be about $2k-$3k unless you know someone. Also remember that the paint alone here cost $600.

Yeah body work is no joke. I had a lot of rock chips on my hood and front bumper that had to be fixed before mine could be sprayed. They pretty much had to sand the whole thing and smooth it back out.
Great job Choas. We def gotta get a few pics of the rides while in Carlise.
What day you going up?

I have the whole weekend off so I will be there friday afternoon. Speaking of sanding when I went to look at it he had been buffing her for 8 hours and still had more to go. I'm really glad he took his time with her trying to make her perfect .
