[QUOTE="StuF, post: 565041, member: 17262"] I would say between 5 and 7k for a [b]great[/b] job that will stand the test of time and pass muster for a clean shiny bus. That's from speaking to people who have had various levels of paint from complete resto bare metal to blow overs. Most places if not all will want to do the prep themselves as its 90% prep and 10% paint, especially on our long slab sided buses. If you complete all the pre paint strip down and then post paint reassembly yourself - fresh rubbers/seals/interior and so on big savings can be made in labour costs. I am sure if the bus isn't a basket case with loads and loads of panels to replace and welding it will be much closer to the 5k mark than 7 however I am no painter. [/QUOTE]
