Bryan,
In the car game if you get quoted a very high price for work to be done
generally it means either one of two things - it really costs that much or the
person giving the quote doesn't much want to do the job, but he quotes a really
high price anyway just in case you take up the offer and he makes a huge profit
for his trouble.
I've seen some pretty sweet paint jobs done on 1600's done by privaters for
half of what you've been quoted so don't give up, talk to your mates and see if
anyone knows some cheaper ppl to talk to.
regards,
Terry
