[s-cars] Paint job pricing

[Cody Forbes]

I've got a good friend in Lincolton that owns one of the largest body shops 
in the area. I *KNOW* he does the best work at the most reasonable prices, 
hands down. Not sure if thats too far for you though. My fathers shop is now 
in the same building, so on the plus side you'd get to check out some very 
nice Porsche race cars while you are there ;-), and if you dropped the car 
off on a weekend I'd likely be there working with my father.

Place is called Auto Body Solutions. I'll try to get a rough quote for you. 
IIRC it starts arround $1200 for a basic re-spray, but don't hold me to that 
just yet.
