Paint and prep expectations

It was about $3500 if I remember correctly. I changed the factory sea foam green color to a modern metallic that I coded to a 2017 F250. The car was bare in the sense it was more or less a running rolling chassis. No glass, no trim, no interior etc. They did a really good job of changing the color internally so its extremely hard to tell what it was originally. There was only minor body work to be done as there was absolutely zero rust anywhere, mainly dings and small dents in the hood. All sheet metal was original as well with the only exception being one of the valances was a factory replacement.

I have some process pictures of the body/paint process here.
