Was looking for a painter on this site but didnt find any, my car isnt in that bad of shape besides some small dings and having primer fender and front bumper but im looking for a painter. Dont have a big budget but im doing all of the body work, i have some experience in body work and very little in painting but i dont have the tools or place to do it. If need be ill even help out with the prep etc...you can look at my ride and let me know how much would you charge. Thanks

Well, if you don't mind paying for a great paint job or anyone on here who want to restore a Z.

Not trying to be a wiseguy, but the cost will vary a lot and the availability
of a painter will hinge on a few more factors:

Is it only the panels in primer to be painted?
Are the door dings to be removed and paint blended?
If so how many dings, are they deep, are they on contour lines?
Is the entire car to be repainted?
If so, will it be the same color? (Reds are harder to paint over than
most others due to their tendency to bleed thru)

Honest, I'm just trying to be helpful.............
