Buyer beware, cheap is not always the best deal.

Its pretty hard to do it right for $800, unless the painter is willing to take a very low profit margin. Blake got a heck of a deal, but his painter must have been working for peanuts or had slave labor. I had mine done in Magnolia TX. Here is a URL to the shop showing the car a various stages.

For those interested, mine are the width and tapered per the original Shelby specification.

Your car looks great RadBOSS.

I suppose that the actual paint prices are roughly the same, but its the labor rate that makes up the total price difference?
