Holy Crap!! The price of Paint.....
I always loved this back when Pop and I were restoring, using nothing but PPG, DBC usually, covered in 2001 then the switch to 2002. I'd write an estimate and have someone say "geeze, the guy up the street quoted me $1000.00 for the whole job." Always cracked me up when I told 'em to stop comparing apples to oranges. For a grand I couldn't buy all the material needed for the job and put it in the trunk for 'em.
