I'm sure that I am reiterating what has been said, but many car people have no idea what goes into paint and restoration. It's not hours. It's months or even a year on one vehicle, but they think you should do it for a couple grand. Not happening, so they go away angry. I do my own paint and bodywork on my own cars and leave it at that.
