Cornfarmer: does this painter have a shop or is it a hobby for him? Have you seen his work ?

This guy has his own shop/booth on his property, probably 1/3 of a mile from me. His work looks legit....some Porsche he painted won 2nd place in some Gucci car show, if that makes any difference.

I've gotten other quotes of 5-6k, materials included. Apparently black is the toughest color to make look straight.

No doubt. Hope it works out. That's a great rate for a auto painter.

One thing to keep in mind is nothing lasts forever, even bed liner. If you think the prep work is expensive now, imagine how many hours would go into removing that mess. I'm a fan of bed liner in truck beds, but that's about it. I know many will disagree with me, but IMHO it looks super half assed when used as an alternative to paint. Like it belongs on a lifted diesel with tow mirrors, semi stacks, and covered in Monster stickers. Aside from all that, it's made to be hard to remove, I wouldn't even take on a job to try removing that stuff.

Yes, every panel has to be straight and black will bring out all the imperfections.

Months ago I entered this van in the 'work in progress' category at a local car show. It happened this past weekend during a weird spell of crap weather. I went to it anyway and stuck a for sale sign on it thinking I might get a few bites......ha. I realized that monring that we forgot to wire the wipers back up, so it made for an interesting pre show cruise. One of these things is not like the other.....
