I am also curious about the cost. But I understand if you are not comfortable giving that information. I am about to buy a 1980 Mini which has everything I want except the body color. And the Mini is local, so I don't have to deal with shipping. So I would like to estimate what a professional quality paint job might run.

i got all my work done for free.........but i have to do a little bit of promotion work for the guy...........my guy said on an avarage with the typical rust ....1700. - 2200. dollars.......the trick is to find someone who is good and not busy.......my guy works alone and does body work and painting.....so it works out better .....
