[QUOTE="StuF, post: 565024, member: 17262"] I think the problem with "ball park" figures on paint jobs is the issues that can present themselves once the bus is stripped and rubbed back. Many of the previous repairs/bodges/etc would have to be corrected and carefully blended in to the body work. A good painters reputation could be severely damaged taking on a job for say 4k and then subsequently find another 4-6k worth of work hidden under the bodywork For me if I was ever to get our bus a fresh coat of paint I would budget around 6-7k mark and I know there is no filler or previous repairs as its still in 99% OG paint But that is very unlikely as we like Murphy looking just how he does Fingers crossed you find somewhere suitable :D [/QUOTE]
