you do not know the "hassles" involved in painting a car like this. you HAVE to sand past all of that crap. If its sanded over and painted over, you will have worse nightmares than what you currently have. If I did it, it would deff be in the ballpark of 2500-3000 to be done right and not a macco econo paintjob. If you are considering to go macco route, take my advice and just drive it as it is......
