Cost of a single-color paint job?

Also we never painted over anyone elses body work, full strip on everything.

Neither will the fellow that painted my car. Tried to get him to work with my doctor, he would not. In his words...."everybody is a mother f*****g body work pro. Every one knows it all.....especially when it comes to pointing the finger of blame. Not worth dealing with a whining sniveling crybaby to make a few hundred dollars spraying a car that in all reality has bodywork done to it that is flat out junk.". As he put it, do you bring your own bacon & eggs to Denny's for breakfast?

My doctor was working with a guy that claimed he was the best around. That only the absolute minimum of filler was used. After the guy screwed him over and he got the car back curiosity kicked in, he took a sander to some of the work that was done. He found areas where instead of doing metal work putty was used to straighten things. On one spot of the car he took a drill to the putty to see exactly how deep it was.....over 5/8" thick. I can only imagine what would have happened if the Doc would have found someone to spray it for him.
