[s-cars] Paint job pricing

[JenRob]

Aaron- basically the price you were quoted is cheap. i paid roughly $2500 
for the complete paint job on my emerald s6 avant in Asheville NC- which is 
pretty close to you (not incl minor body repair- dings/dents). i did most of 
the r & i of trim myself- you will love the riveted on door belt moldings. 
basically i would get a second opinion to guage the local market cost- $1000 
sounds too good to be true considering the cost of the paint will be roughly 
1/2 of the price quoted. let me know if you have more questions. -rob
