Was wondering how much it cost you total to paint the Cobra.
I have done a great deal of research on the Chromalusion paints by DuPont (Far best of the shifters)

Lets see
Paint is around 400 a pint. 3 Pints for the car
Undercoat for the paint runs about 25 a pint
Then Clearcoat, speacially applied
My guess if all parts were removed 4293.97 including tax
!!!
that is a close guess but mine was 7 even. labor is what kills ya. i had them take every piece off and paint each peace. took them about 3 weeks. i am very happy with it but you can forget touch up paint. ha ha ha. But i got 3 layers of clear on top.

I would have teken it apart myself for the most part
I probley got ripped but i went with a place that had a real good painter. Also if i want to i can go back and get flames underneeth and it will not set me back that much. I guess you are paying a lot of the paint but the way i see it is i paid a about 2 crand for supplies about 3 grand on labor and about 2 grand on custom work. A lot of shops will stop and only paint the outside pannels not the trunk not under the hood not behind the engine things like that.

don't even think about taking each piece of and getting it done as you have the money to pay for it. you will end up getting screwed in the long run i have seen people do that. lol

I am just saying that I would have removed everything I could then carted it to the shop. Was looking at doing the same thing. I have a friend who paints, have access to the bases painting booth and storage.
We were going to do it ourselves, with a total cost of 4200.00 Hence my guess.
Great looking car too.
dang i woudl jump all over it. if he paints he might be able to get ya a deal on the paint also?

why cart panels and stuff to the place? that means carting painted parts back. it doesnt take long to strip a car of its panels...so you arent saving yourself much. the most labor is in stripping the old paint and all the sanding involved. leave it to the body shop to take care of everything. that way if anything goes wrong its them to blame rather than trying to blame you on something. as far as paint...i spent 6k on my car.
oh, and color shift paint is a dead fad...go with some house of kolors candy color
house of kolors = wal-mart paint.
