I have to ask.. Whats not cheap?? I got a quote from one body shop of 35k. Obviously they was smoking something. Toyworks is coming to my house on Monday to look at my cobra and give me a price. I already got a price from Ken Pike which I thought was quite reasonable. But if toyworks comes in close I might just go with them since they are close to me.

Ken has a pretty impressive shop. I went to his shop today and counted 7 cobras in there being done right now. 2 were done and gorgeous.

You are located in the Bay Area - nothing is cheap! Without seeing the condition of you car and understanding what your expectation are, no one can give you an estimate. If the Toyworks guy is going to come out and visit, that speaks volumes - as does the volume of cars (and condition) of Ken's cars. Make sure you know exactly what each bid entails - not just "paint the car" - primer, bondo, blocking, orange peel, removal (protection) of non-painted surfaces, number of coats of paint and clear, whose paint, etc. Any repair work or just paint?

Ask to see before and after pictures and talk to customers who have had similar work done.

Onefastmustang - you are getting an entire paint job (from scratch) - sounds like mhcson is looking to blend paint/colors. Very different process and associated cost. You are also willing to go to Ken's, he may not be.
