If you have fixed all the bad spots and prepped the rest of the body (stripped off or masked parts), the actual cost of spraying the car should be very reasonable. I suggest calling a few body shops and asking what they would charge just to shoot the paint. They will not offer any sort of warranty, since they have no idea how well the prep was done, and they are not making much profit on the job. ANY quality pro paint job would be infinitely better than one done with rattle cans. John Davies Monroe WA USA
