I have another noob question. The PO (one of the POs I should say) painted my car a color that I would call "rust" if it were on any other car. Skline calls it "root beer" which is far less confusing. My first qustion is how do I find out what the original color of the car was? My second question is about getting a new paint job. Stripping, priming and all that stuff. How much does that usually cost, where's a good place in SoCal to get that done and so on. In other words, tell me all things PAINT! Thanks again everybody.

WOW!!
3 grand for a paint job!!!
Here in lebanon (small country on the mediterranean, for those who don't know) i can get my car completely done including sandblasting, bodywork (+ flares) and paint (including the cost of "dupont" paint) for 2000$ and that's for a top job and i won't even have to touch a screwdiver, and if i add 800$ to that i'll get all my interior made including the cost of leather and vinyl (dash, seats, backpads, carpets and the steerring wheel, etc...)
So i guess for the cash you guys are paying it would be cheaper to ship the car over here get it fixed and ship it back (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
