Boy!  That's cheap at twice the price!!  I did some serious checking at
some real paint and body shops here in the Rochester area for repainting
my bus.  Unless I was willing to do all - and I do mean all -  of the prep
work, the cheapest price I got was $3800.  If you do go to a serious paint
shop, keep a grand or more in reserve.  My bet is you'll need it.
