gtmopar, top of the line paint from PPG, Dupont or BASF just in materials, primers, paint, catalyst, clear can cost way over a thousand bucks, then add sandpapers, masking tapes. Cutting out rust, welding in new pieces and smoothing the metal is a lot of work and takes a great body man to do the right thing. No one wants to work for free. Of course there are more things by doing the right thing such as removing all the trim, door handles, interior etc. Body work is a dirty job left to professionals otherwise it would be left to Bondo Kings and who would want that?
