Ute respray costs?

[Big Rob]

You got to remember the paint job is the easy part its how good the prep is done that determines how good the paint work will look like when its done

So true! I can throw a couple of coats of paint on in a few hours, but the prep to get a good finish that will last and last seems never-ending.

And I haven't bought wet and dry in bulk for a while and was shocked recently how expensive it is now. Paint (even acrylic which I still use) and consumables have gone up a lot. Donna and I had dinner at a restaurant in town last night with a local panel beater and his wife and he's ordering some acrylic for me for the LC Torana bootlid (Mum backed into a pole at the IGA!) and he's getting it for me at cost. Still expensive though!
