I got a great paint job for $3,000, after I sent it back as the wings were a different shade than the tub.  Of course it took over two years and he never re-fit any of the parts after doing the repair and paint work.  Live and learn. 

But the paint looked good!

John -

Before you pull the gearbox - if your only symptom is 'won't go into gear' -- you may want to check how much movement you're getting at the slave cylinder.  If the slave & fork are moving ½" or a bit more then it may well be a broken fork pin.  But if you are not seeing good movement then the problem may lie elsewhere (and be easier to deal with).

As for paint -- $3,000 for a decent paint job would be cheap where I live.
