C2 Paint Recommendation?

[Rob M.]

Hi,
I read the article by Tom Aimes about restoration paint in the Restorer and it got me motivated to repaint my red '66 to the correct color (Milano Marron). Would anyone be comfortable recommending a shop in the Southern CA area to have my roadster painted? Good honest work would be great! By the way, what do you think I'll spend for good honest work?

Thanks in advance,
rob

Corvette Connexion (Bill Headley) in Upland California does great work. Been doing it a long time. Last # I have for him is (909) 981-9955. As far as price it depends on what you want.

Good Luck,

Rule of Thumb

Figure a fully turn-key exterior paint job with 'correct' lacquer goes for something like $6-20K today.... Depends on the painter's reputation/skill/demand profile as well as the degree of body work/prep that's required. I know that's a WIDE price range, but there's a LOT of variables involved....
