Big can of worms- but the price is very good- must be good friend.
Ask- Are you painting the door/trunk/hood jams? Warrenty (a guy in town {Tampa} said he would warrenty his paint job for as long as I owned the car- best offer I ever got)? Waht old paint prep will you do? Wetsand, etc...
I would insist on removing panels- paint under them and paint the panels too. Don't forget to remove wheel-well molding- they may crack/break (if original)- $30+ a pop, but worth new for a new paint job.
Remove all badges!
Recommend clear coating- this will also mean more prep-work (like- removing door handles/side turn markers. Imposible to tape off along rubber and then apply a clear coat- you'll have peeling in short order.)
He may not bite at all of these things, but I would offer to help in the prep+ you know the car better than he- Saab nooks & cranies. It is very worth it down the road- painting is the easy part!
Good luck- Steve
