Hi Rick and Jimmy etc, Sorry for the late reply on this - I was at a conference all last week.
When I was looking at getting my car done, I would have thought $4g tops would have done it, but it seems the story is quite different in reality. At the same time I got mine done, a knowledgable friend got his job quoted extensively. He had done all prep - all that was required was final touchup and the actual spray - he paid $4g for the work, and this was in acrylic. $10g does sound excessive, but at the same time the quote appears to be quite thorough (including whole body sand blasting etc). I would approach him with an aim of what result you were envisaging and an idea of what you can afford, and see if a mutual agreement can be negotiated - this is what I did and worked out well, with me doing pretty much all nonspecialist work, leaving more money for the panelbeater to do stuff which will directly affect the end result. Experiences I have heard about that have resulted in nice jobs have been in the $6g ballpark. Someone else who may give some info is David Andrews who is currently going through the process of getting his 1600 done.
