then i am preaching to the preacher. :number1
But a few K$ isnt going to get you perfection for a full respray. A full respray on that car, LESS body work, sure. But I would never put my name&paint over someone else’s body work without me going over it all again myself with my blocks. So body labor is 55/hr for a reason, few grand isnt going to get perfection in my book. Autobody perfection is in my opinion, $20-30K paint jobs on national show cars. 
but I get what you are saying.
