I am in the process of getting a 66 Fury III up and running to sell. I am going through the 440 and 727. Checking bearings and installing a new gasket set in the motor as well as clean it up and paint it. The 440 will look new when done. All of the lights are good and bumpers are in really good shape. Everything it there and I just need to put it together and I thought while it is apart I should go ahead and paint the car, jamb it and do the engine bay.
Before I bought the car some *** wipe decided to paint primer over the dark red metallic paint. The good news is the car is very solid and needs very little body work. I plan on taking it down to the factory finish in most places and smooth out dings. I have shot single stage paints in the past and I like how easy it is to shoot.
I am thinking about order all of my primers, paint and clear through summit. Is the summit brand paint any good? I plan on shooting this color, because it is fairly close to the factory color. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SUM-UP341/ I plan on using their epoxy primer, 2K primer surfacer, base and clear. Through summit I will only be into it for about $350 for everything.
I was planning on getting around $2,000 before any paint and body work. How much do you think the car would be worth with decent paint? $3,500?
I am just trying to run some numbers in my head and don't want to do a ton of work for nothing.
