I think in the late 80's it was 99.99, though it may have been 199.99, that I paid for a re-spray of a 72 Cadillac Coupe DeVille by ole Earl. The vinyl roof replacement was about 800.00 though. But considering what a land yacht it was, that price wasn't bad. I must admit I had no complaints regarding the quality of the job either.

Not seeing their ads on TV anymore, I'm surprised to see they are still in business. However, they don't list prices anymore. So I imagine cars are priced differently depending on size, type of paint being used, number of clear coats etc.
