3k would be enough for a redpray if you hadnt sanded it down and removed all the door handles ect... now tht its like that, i think you could get a respray for about $1500

Depend's who you take it to, but I'd say $3k is gonna cover a panel prep/respray. As for recommendations, there's too many! Just have a look in the Yellow Pages for a workshop closest to you. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

could get a half decent job, but you need to make it clear what you want for 3 grand and ask what there going to give you for that much money.

well guys I had a panel beater/painter come to my house check out the job ! he was happy to take it on qoute is $2500-3000 I have seen his work im very impressed ! for guys that want to respray a car i reccomend if u got the time strip the forker down makes it more appealing to the painter etc i think i saved my self $500 very happy boy !
