[QUOTE="ssmann, post: 431885, member: 18956"] KGB/Brando - thanks. All details are in the thread (let me know if you still can't find it). I wanted to be as transparent as possible (price is very subjective as it depends on what you want, condition of car, etc etc), so as anyone who reads this thread will know how and where to undertake such jobs. Initially I struggled but with help from our forum sifu's and pro's out there, the result is evident. I wanted to make such an effort a delightful one for those who want to embark on such projects. One point I have learnt from this whole process, I met about 3 painters and 5 interior restorers and countless detailers, before picking Albert, George and Chew. Everyone has a diff opinion, some out to literally rape you and others don't know enough to make sense. I have had painters quote me close to RM8k for this same paint and as low as RM2k (one guy even told me he can paint directly over chrome, without primer etc and it will never peel off...whatever la).....ultimately, what matters is those with experience, know what they are talking about and exuberate confidence. These are my selection criteria. Others may have their own. I wish you the best in your restoration journey. Its a painful one in more ways then one, but you will enjoy the experience and the completed product!!! [/QUOTE]
