Might bookmark that for the paint job needed in the future.. I wonder how close to their advertised 'starting from $2k' it would be... :lol:

2k would get you a scotchbrite and blow over on the outside with no dents done or anything.. Or if done right, as Harley said probably just the roof.. Nothing good in the panel industry comes cheap..

Our bottom line price for a respray is $6500. Why? To do it properly is time consuming beyond belief!

Just one minute boys - it says from $2000. Isn't there a warning up front right there :?:

From 2000 may not be a warning....just reality, if your paint and panels are AOK (and I mean AOK) and you just want a freshen up (not a "bare metal respray") then maybe someone who specialises in a particular marque can say that....

Anyone got any hard evidence of this fellas work? a real quote for work done? What was the state of the car before it went in? etc etc

I'm not 100% but I think the progress of the Nullabor Express posted similar photos.
