    Just as an example....THIS was a $500 paint job minus the flames. Flames were decals for around $100.

    dang thats cool for an old wagon. how long did the paint last 3-5 years? if I could get a paint job on my car something like that for $600 and it lasted 5 years I would be at the paint shop already

    This car had quite a bit of bondo in it. It started popping out the first year. The car was NEVER garaged and WAS driven in the winter (with different wheels/tires) after I finished it. The clear coat started peeling about year 3 or 4.
