[s-cars] Paint job pricing

[Aaron Ryba]

Jason,

This $1000 quote is mostly for paint since there is no rust or rot and only one tiny ding to pull out (a first for my Audi ownership!). And this is exterior only, no door sills or engine bay since I am going over with the OE color. The only complicated part is the rear spoiler. The guy didn't look up the paint price but I imagine emerald green is not an expensive color.

I am in Spartanburg off 85 in the upstate near Greenville . I often spend the weekend up in Rock Hill on Lake Wylie closer to the Charlotte Area. It would be great to see the finished product if possible.

For the money the sprayjob might be good but I am also worried about masking everything instead of completely removing the trim for proper prep.
