[64speed]

Took my car to Maaco for a full estimate today because I wanted to know how much to save and show the manager more than pictures. He said he saw no reason why it couldn’t be finished out for 6000 or less. Shot in base/clear with my exact specs on gloss % for the dash and all the extras I want. Paint will be PPG and he said after the strip it I will come down and mark anything I find and they will fix it. Weld in new metal where appropriate etc. I know a lot of people think I am foolish for even considering Maaco but I really can’t stomach the estimates I got and this car is going to be driven. I don’t want to fear a scratch on a paint job that cost 2 or 3 times the cost of my panel replacement
