$20k for a fiberglass body, 2 doors, trunk and hood - that is INSANE!

X2 and bears repeating. Unless you want a microscopically perfect show car finish, that is absolutely ridiculous!

FYI: I was quoted $5-6k here in north Texas at the place I previously recommended, and they have done a ton of fiberglass cobras, daytona coupes, as well as real, original cobras and other authentic classic and vintage cars. steel, aluminum, and glas.

That price is fair.

I have seen many shops (not just paint) and to be honest done so myself on occasion, that will price themselves out of the market to avoid doing certain jobs for one reason or another. A lot easier than just saying no sometimes.
