not a killer price, i'm paying 1100 for spray job, take two dents out, and work on the body kit. I'm supplying the paint.

That's an awesome price for paint(for both of you
 )! Do you personally know whoever is doing the work? Is that how you're getting a good deal?

i got the paint free, but the guy i'm getting my paint done by is a restoration guy. My car was the only car i saw that wasnt under 1970s. But he does a really good job w/ out the outrageous prices. He does 1200 for a color change, no including removing dents.
