Depending on where you went you could get a good paint job from the 1,000 to 2,000 area around here. Thats a body shop job it would last and look good. In the numbers above that your talking your very good paint jobs that they spend extra time getting all of the orange peel out and it just looks awesome.

For me im getting mine repainted in a few weeks but i have sanded the car down myself so i get a dramatic discount on the paint job.

Boy you need some new interior pieces might as well strip it but some seats from Jegs or Summit and repaint the interior while the car can be painted fully

cool that you're getting it painted. I think the classic blue with white stripe or yellow with a black stripe would make it look aggressive. What type of look are you going for? Aggressive? Subtle? Flashy?

Paint it sonic blue. My buddys brother is painting his 87 with a 460, sonic blue. I posted some pictures of it but its not done yet. it looks badass so far.
