Then we follow with the last 2 coats of color to assure panel to panel match of the layout. Then we place all the parts onto the vehicle with only enough bolts to hold them in place. We will base coat (color) on all parts inside and out separately. Glass out, all hardware and latches removed, everything. But remember we will totally disassemble the car. Painting the car usually approaches $30K alone once the car is ready for the spraybooth. Not much good to you to get it perfect but end up not having enough paint to do the job!Ĭlick to expand.We only paint the cars we build. Mix, tint, spray out and repeat- always keeping enough paint in the mixing cup to do the job in the event you get it perfect. We were able to mix the match but it took a whole day to get it perfect to the front fenders. Nobody in his area he could find could or would attempt to match the paint. I recently had a man bring me a 1965 Mustang from Washington (I'm in Florida) because of a repaint of the hood from a carb fire. I only say it can't be done because most folks (painters) are not usually at the level of a true "color" person to do that. And even then with the different flop adjusters and transparent or opaque dyes in the color coat it can look different at different angles in various lighting situations. And it will involve multiple spray out cards in direct light (a daylight balanced LED light spray booth) to be sure of a perfect match in proper lighting to the panels you are trying to match it to. But it usually requires an expert in color to be able to tint the base coat to a near perfect match. I hope that explains "how in the hell 7000 $ makes sense" for what the OP is asking to have done.ĭo you do this kind of work, Spencer? Is that how you have come to the conclusion that $7000 is a "ridiculous upcharge"Ĭlick to expand.It can be done. Then we follow with a wool pad buff and that is followed by a foam pad finishing polish. We start with 1200 or 1500 grit wet sanding and move onto a 2500 grit wet sandpaper- over the entire car. When we wet sand the paint on cars we build and buff it takes about 40 hours. Something my shop will not do for the reasons stated. A process that is as timely as it is risky considering the unknown thickness of the clear coat that is remaining on the original paint after years of degradation and waxing. The OP said that the price also included "paint correction" which if done correctly includes wet sanding the entire car to remove "orange peel" from the paint.
Modify or fabricate fixtures to secure parts for buffing. Paint parts and hope for a perfect match- which without blending into the surrounding panels will be nothing short of dumb luck.
