Seems now that I am ready and able, most of the places I know of are shut down and gone now.
So, who is out there doing body and paint on a 914 that are good, have a reputation, and maybe a few people have used them? I am willing to ship the tub to the right shop. I will strip it to a tub, or maybe let them do all of that...not sure. rich |

Yep. I'm happy with my paint...and the guy (Steve at S&T in da Bronx) is great. I'd probably try to find someone more local to you, however so you can check in on the process. One lesson I learned...there's nothing more expensive than a cheap paint job. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. I figure a factory-type paint job will take 80 hours, assuming the car is already stripped. That, plus about 1.5K in materials and you get to about 10K. Could be lower in less expensive parts of the country.
