The painer ERA uses has done MANY cars and knows how to tackle the project and get it done. I have build at least a dozen cars and have had about half-a-dozen different shops do the paint work....last one was in the 7k to 8k range....bear in mind that I am real picky and have added a lot of "lets to this, this time" things which always drives the cost up. The last car (mine) took 6 month to paint....it was great but costly from a time and $$$ stand point.

Can't beat the ERA deal for $$$ and speed....they do a good job and probably have as many added tricks that make the body look top notch as anyone.

My experience is that the FIA is a better body than the 427 and would be cheaper IMO to paint....but the FIA is from a new mold (mine was #3) the last 427 I did was in the 400's I think.

Just make sure Peter isn't eating near the car when it's painted.
