I'd recommend that you obtain three written quotes based on the quality
of the finished product that you desire. The written quotes should
specify what the shop will do, e.g., chemically strip all the paint or
just scuff it? Fill dings, dents and imperfections and leave no filler
or sanding marks. Paint the car with single or two stage paint followed
by color sanding? Removing all removable items including bumpers?
Removing doors so the sills and jams can be properly prepared and cut
in? Removing the windshield? Masking the engine compartment to prevent
over spraying? Fixing all orange peel, runs, dry spots and dirt?
Unless it's someone you know and trust, the lifetime guarantee and
verbal assurances that the shop will do this and that are worthless.
$7500? Get the quotes and examine samples of their work. That's a lot of
money.
Hope the input is helpful.
