Yes I do :) The bad part is I am in Naples, Fl and I couldn't touch it for 600 I am sorry. To give you an idea a complete paint job (same color) starts around $4000 (no body work) There is A LOT of work here is a little list -remove all trim -remove headlights -remove hood -remove fenders -remove doors -remove bumpers -remove interior door trim -cut in parts (hood,fenders,etc.) which means painting the inside -reinstall hood, fender, any parts cut in. -every part that gets painted gets sanded and blocked -then painted (2 base coats, 3 clear) -now after painted wetsand and buff every inch of the paint -now put everything together I am leaving a lot out but it gives you an idea of whats involved to get a good paint job with a LIFETIME warranty. If you leave steps out to lower cost after a few years down here it will not look good.
