How hard/expensive is it to get the top painted body color? I'm taking my car in for paint next month and wanted to know what to expect. Thanks.

I painted the one on my street car about 20 years back. sanding down the texture caused the new paint to spider crack into the fiberglass annually. Its pretty easy to sand through the gel coat.
I repainted it 1-2 more times, before I broke down and took it to a commercial fiberglass manufacturer local. they re- gel coated it. I painted it a 3rd time. and now its smooth kinda a pain in the ass and not cheap after repeating everything 3x |
