I love to se people workin on old skool cars, I paid a lil below 4 thousand. I didn't have much body work and almost no rust, but I had a new fiberglass hood, trunk, front valance and rear dual exhaust valance. So no work on that other than alignment. Hope everything goes well for u and have fun with it

Here's a pic of the finished product

Anywhere between 5k to 10k I think would be a fair price, 10k price would be you being able to get extra picky and being able to take a mic to every gap/edge and making sure it's even and on point, show quality type p.j.

Someone I know got a quote to repaint a camaro that's already a 9 out of 10 for 13.5k, so if u can get outta there for less than 10, and still be picky, I'd b happy.

That's a lot for paint. Especially for a mustang. If I pay that much. I'd better be in the mustang magazine somewhere. I'd said $2000 at the most if you do your own prep. But you can also find way cheaper. There are people who do good side work for $500 or so. Just prep your own car it'll save you a lot of money.

Only place that will paint a Mustang or any care for 2 grand is Maaco type of place. You're dreaming with your 2k bids.....

Mines ready for paint too. Im thinking about staying with black in a satin finish, but might do shiney black with stripes.

I really love the black with white stripes on your Chavez66

The first paint job I got on my '65 was $3200. It looked good from far, but far from good. I took it to a different shop a few years later and it wound up costing about $13k for a paint job that I can't take my eyes off of. The car is white with red stripes. The body is arrow straight now. They had to fix everything the other shop messed up which included drip rail repair, sanding runs out, fixing a rear 1/4 - trunk line, etc. The car was there for 9.5 months and I looked at it once a week or more. The fenders, doors, hood, trunk lid, glass, etc. came off to be painted.

I'm sure you could get a great job for less than 13K, but be prepared to spend a decent amount for a job you are happy with.
