[QUOTE="H D, post: 998339, member: 68494"] I had my '69 Cougar painted including some light body work, under hood and trunk, inside doors and a new vinyl top for a little less than $5k in 2003. It wasn't a complete tear down as I intend to do that later as a total restoration but it was a nice paint job. I wish I could remember how many coats of paint and clear it is. For reference, here's a picture that was taken about a year after the paint job (and after I pushed it over the hill into a tree while working on the brakes, hence the bumper:banghead:). That's my dad in the picture. Taken with a non-digital camera and scanned using a cheap scanner so not the best quality picture. [b][Broken External Image][/b]: My restoration budget worksheet for the Cougar now includes a $12k budget for paint, so I don't think you're quotes are really off from what you'd expect if you're going for an excellent paint job. The current Cougar paint job is really quite nice, but the final restoration will be perfection. [/QUOTE]
