Paint Cost

[jdean]

It is normal to feel the stripes on factory paint jobs, and this is key point for those doing a true restoration. For a "custom" paint job, you dont want to feel it though.

$5500 for a Cobra with stripes. Chris Rayner 214-549-5126. He has a set price for Lone Stars. I am going silver, so prep is more forgiving than a dark color. This seemed good for me. Notice Ev-Mor. has a paint option of $4800.

J dean maybe able to offer some additional thoughts on this... but the guy that painted my car (larry Goins) has moved (or is moving) to Oklahoma from Montana. I think he also painted John's

He does a really nice job and I think his prices are reasonable. He is a lurker on this board and maybe even post or send you a private message (hint hint larry)

[jdean]

Yes he does a great job. He's been a paint and body guy for a long time and has painted Cobras for years. He should be about done with mine. For the quality you get with Larry I think the price is very reasonable. I'll get some pics when I can. Hint to Larry!!

I am doing one from scratch with stripes even under the hood for less than 5500. Will post pictures when complete.

So, does anyone have Larry Goins' contact information?

JDean, has your paint job been completed? How was your experience? Pics?

[jdean]

Larry is in the process of opening his Oklahoma shop. Mine is not painted yet but all prepped and ready to be sprayed. Probably in July.

Chris Noland is local and has a car painted by Larry, plus you can see some of his work at http://www.jblmotor.com/

I will send you a PM with his number.
