body & paint quotes

lesson learned??? well the reason that my car was stripped down to bare metal was to avoid the exact problem of adhesion.. the original paint is acrylic lacquer and the new paint wouldn't be guaranteed to adhere well without doing it. that alone was $1k of the job. the other thing is I live in the bay area and that is about what you pay around here. the price has alot to do with demograhics. that sucks it bubbled, but at least they are taking car of it.
