I know I'm stomping over old ground here but................I will have about £2000 to get the Duster painted next month. As its a rust free body there is no expencive filling or welding needing carried out. Under the Bonnet ( ) is matt black so I'll be leaving that but I'll like to get the door shunts and the Boot lip done too. What kind of job can I expect to get for this? Again I know this is subjective but a ball park idea would be helpfull.

Also the Original colour is a Baby poo Yellow and I dont want to keep it that coulour. Its a '73 so any idea's what to paint it? I rather like plum Crazy but I guess a Metalic Paint will cost more to Paint? Would it look stupid in a flat paint?

Bronze?

And put Dusty's car to shame? I could not do that to a fellow MMA member.

Black or white would be my next choice

Yeh I am a bit partial to Black But there is a few Tesco type dings on the front Wings (Fenders ) I think that Black would really show them up. Cant afford to have them worked and I wont want any filler on the body. Dont fancy White to be honest. Would like to go with a more High Impact colour and Original Mopar obviously.

Andy you need perfect panels to lay black on. Same with silver. They show every imperfection. White is very forgiving . Ever thought about a Sox clone?

Nah, common as General's them! To be honest I'd love a Sox Replica but I'm on a tight budget and I doubt £2k will stretch to anything like a Sox Replica. Although I could get it painted white and do the rest at a later date when I get some more spondoolic's sorted. Cheers

I like darts HOW ABOUT THESE

or these

Mmmmmm, some nice car's there for sure! Cant go black because of the Dings. But I'm loving the Purple ones! The blue's are cool too. I like yellow but I'm banned from that colour I like the 340/360 Wedge call outs on the Hood, thats what I'll be getting eventually.

I had my 78 Fury cop car painted for a grand in 2004 and I was well happy with the job they did including getting all the dings out. It was Ford diamond white so not metallic or anything.

Sounds like you got a great deal there Will. How long did you keep the car after? Did you see sign's of blistering ect coming through or anything? If I can get a paint job like that for £2k I'll be a happy man!!

then again i had the bottom 6 inches of mine welded filled and painted.
basically made me new rear panel corners etc and sorted out the rear 1/4s and front wing trailing edges

+ work on the black stripes

and that cost me 1.5k

i know a man who will spray to a price and do a decent job but he is 500 miles away from you

Sounds like a plan if he has 500 miles of airline

Andy.... I know a fair few painters up in Scotland.... Tell me what it needs, and I will have a chat with them.
