I know this has been asked many times, and it is a subjective question - but here goes
I am stripping down my car for paint, removing decklids, engine tranny, bumpers, seals, lights, pulling wiring back and initially taking down the first layer of paint. The car is fairly straight. How much labor hours in a guesstimate would it take for paint? painting trunks, jambs, maybe engine compartment in the same, stock light ivory color. And a guesstimate in color sanding as well. |

Are you a pro? If not it will take you a long time or it will look like crap. That is about the best way to put it.
80-90 hours is and low estimate for a good paint job by a pro. The more time you spend on it the better it will look. If you want a quicky call MAACO and get them to throw some color on it. Otherwise do it right and treat the 914 with the respect it deserves. A good paint job is one of those things that can make or break a project. |
