When I 'converted' the '73 RA-IV 455HO TA from CP to 'street' use I had Maaco do the paint. I stripped what was left of the interior and removed all exterior chrome, lights, etc, before delivering to Maaco. They did the prep, tape, spray & pray. Came out GREAT for under $1000.00. When people ask where I had her painted I just laugh and say 'don't ask'. -glen
