Hyde,
I don't think some body shops realize the sanding a prep work on a fiberglass body on a Cobra replica. My Unique was painted here locally by a body shop that I have done business with for about 12 years. Alex originally quoted "around $2,000" and I think his excitement over working on a Cobra blurred his senses. I really thought that was too low and told him so, but have known the company long enough to know they would treat me right. Their shop is about a mile from my office and I would drop in unannounced at morning, noon or evening about 3-4 days a week for the 4 weeks it was there. There was always someone working on the body - sanding, filing, sanding, filling pin holes, sanding, priming, sanding - you get the picture. Anyway - the job ended up costing about $3,200 and feel it was fair for me and the painter.
