Need advice on body & paint $$$$$

As I keep trying to explain to my wife....There's a big difference between getting a $4500 repaint done on your newer car to getting a tear down restoration paint job on your classic.

The last 10 years I have spent a lot of hours at my buddies garage watching some real big money jobs being done. I have learned how much time is invested in doing good body work. I also know how costly the supplies get when most people don't even think of the stuff like masking supplies, no idea how expensive sanding disc's are.........
