Lastly, if you were to paint that far into the body, it isnt much more work to paint the whole car, just a bit more sanding, since the paint will just fly over and this will mean that they dont have to tape off anything.

btw, 350 is a heck of a deal for painting a whole car, inside and out. Ask him how many coats he will do and the price for labor, I am very curious.
He would have to tape off a lot on the inside - I'm not removing the wiring, HVAC system, firewall sound deadening, etc etc. He hasn't given me a price diff. Since he's doing it all on the side and doesn't know how long it'll ultimately take, I don't think he really knows what he's going to charge me yet. He originally quoted me $800-900 w/ bodywork, but it's going to be more than that since bodywork + paint is already $850.

My car is going to be way too nice to buy for making into a racecar. The interior should never come out again until the car is so old and beat up it's worthless. By that time, it'll need to be repainted anyway. haha
