i want to paint my car a different color then the green it is now, my car DESPERATELY needs body work and paint… rust spot on every panel, and some are really bad… anyways the guy im goin through may charge an extra $200 for door jambs and about 3 inches in under the hood and trunk… is that worth it? or should i have it painted without the door jambs and just do it myself, but im assuming its $200-250 becuase its a pain? i think i could rattle can the jambs… but seeing if its really worth it to “do it right the first time” in this case ---
