Hey their crusierdad76,
I agree with you on Ironman doing a good job! I just used to see a lot of people with the idea that you can just go down to the Paint Store, pick up some OEM Paint, shoot it, and get a perfect match. I really do wish it worked like that, but he sad reality I am afraid is that it is just a bit more complicated than that, so I wanted to bring that across. Luckily its not like he has a metallic, or Pearl, or something more complicated, or I would say to take it to someone for sure. On a Base Clear, I recon even if he wound up re-shooting the quarter, with a little guidance, and a makeshift booth in a garage or something, Ill bet he just might be able to pull off a semi decent job without a lot of trouble. I'm still more towards doing the whole panal rather than a spot repair, but either way I would be happy to see if I can lend a hand in explaining the process, and see where we wind up!
As for your 2 tone, it would be close, but I would say that you could probably get it done for around $1500.00. The biggest expense would be the paint, and clear to cover the entire top half of the car instead of just the bottom half like the Dream Cruiser 3 which would use a lot less material. With that said, the Silver over Black paint scheme is way cool though, and would look sweet for sure! Here is a pick of one of my favorite PT's with that 2 tone DC3 look!
Take er easy,
Candyman
