Interesting I should come across this. I am getting my 914 painted, it has two small dings, and one fender that will need the little bit of body filler taken off and redone. I am going to strip off all the trim my self, will do the rear window myself, and pay to have the windshield removed and replaced. I am going to have to put all new rubber seals on it(about a grand, just for all the parts)First quote I got was for $2500, and I am still shopping, this for a car that will stay the same brutally bright orange. Good paint jobs cost big money. Paid $2000 about 15 years ago for a convertible bug
