Haha thats a good point. But a lot of money is in the materials and the prep work, yes?? If I use less expensive materials and do as much of the prep work as I can, it should cost less right? This car was painted with rattle cans, poorly. I found golf balls and coke bottles embedded in the trunk bondo.
Anything is going to be an improvement.

Are you saying that any decent painter isn't willing to do a budget scratch and shoot with BC/CC? Forget any flames or anything. It's always got to be $18K showcar? How much time is involved in scuffing the sealer, resealing and then doing BC/CC with no cut and buff? 20 hours? At $100 hour that should be 2 grand labor, right?
