Ahhh. My first post...

Recently it has come to my attention that body shops charge quite a vast array of prices. Now because it's been awhile since I've sent a car into paint I was sticker shocked upon invoice signing...

Where are the prices these dayz on body/paint?

I've seen as low as $300 here in South Texas and as high as $30k last week (yes $30k for a 69 Charger)!!! Of course I talked him into a deal he couldn't refuse @ about 40% under that but geeze...$30k!!???!!!

Can anyone beat $30k? Is this truely where paint and body is going? This guy isn't Foose so what gives?

Background filler: This car is a General Lee restoration for a client of ours. One-color, minimal amount of clear, General Lee decals, clear coated over decals...extra time to keep the paint straight. ...and yes this body shop has quite the resume of nice cars, but $30k? I can see $15 or 20...but $30? Yikes
