Gerber said about 200 hrs at $50 per hour! Maaco was considerably cheaper. Didn’t try anywhere else … at least not yet.

It seems like so many of paint and body shops don’t want to touch “antique” cars — or anything other than insurance-covered collision repairs. You can’t find a paint job under about $10k from most of these shops! The thing these people don’t seem to understand is that I am not trying to create a perfect, Concours quality “trailer queen.” (I just want a decent paint job to make a fun vehicle for driving around and going to cruise nights and such.)
