I had arrangements with a tech school to paint my 94 formula but they fell through.i might have something in the works but just in case i was wondering if theres anyone here whiling to paint the entire car 4 me.I do understand its gonna be more then a tech school because id have to pay for labor.  
Currently the car is a factory dark red. I wanna change it to a different shade of red.Its a GM color called Spice Red thats on the 05-06 GTO’s. I have a FG ram air hood thats gonna need to be sanded.Its primar and has a thick layer of gell on it. The quarter panels have small dents that will need a lil bit of puddy to smothin them out. not rust repair or ne thing like that.not sure wat im looking at paint cost wise.if u could throw some numbers at me to get a idea of how much it will cost.i could even try 2 bring it buy for u to give a better estimate.just let me no either on this thread or pm me.  
thanks

Not sure how Jeff would react to someone wanting cheap body work done. If you want cheap head to Maaco. Jeff does quality work, for a pretty decent price.
