$850?? Please check with your guy. If it is $850, i'll try to save up and do it over the summer (assuming Tech'd keep me 2 more years for a master degree.)

400 - 600?? man!!! i think i'll stick with Earl Scheib!?! can't spend all of that right now. and i have to get it painted kinnda quick b/c i need to replace my fender and door. i spoke with Earl Scheib and for a pearl white paint job it's about $270. it's light hand and machine sanding, intagrated clear cote and a 3yr warrenty for chiping, fading, and pitting i think. if yall have any better ideas let me know!
