Do you speak fluent Spanish? If so I can get you the contact info, if not I'd go through carlos

For me, it is 3000... I'm sure its less for others depending on what you want, because I asked for all paint to be stripped, body to be straightened, to fix my rear end damage, and an expensive paint from the 2009 jaguar line

I was thinking about painting my spider and live in San Diego too. Where did you have it painted?
Mines not at a shop in particular, its just a guy and his side job and he does pretty decent work for the price. I dont know if you know Carlos down in OB, but he put me in contact with him.
Where are you at in the repair/repaint stage? Any chance we could discuss what you are having/have done and the like?

Carlos also worked a quote through his guy but I am concerned about the quality of work.
At this stage in the restoration game I am becoming more and more than a bit particular...

Wait, $3,000 for stripping the entire body and full repaint?? :shock: Where is this? I would ship it there! :)
It is 6,500 around here (NY) :cry:
