expect about a 6k$ quote at min...you need in writing exactly what they are gonna do strip the car, epoxy prime, sandable primer, how many times they are gonna block it etc. if its gonna be base clear will they sand and buff the car afterwards(we used to charge about 600-1000$ for this alone)

Now before I take my car anywhere I set up an interview with the shop (if I cant do the work of course). I ask to see their work, their facility and I ask for references. I'm Probably going over the top but were talking about thousands of dollars here. I expect the shop to be very professional and honest with me.
if its a shady shop but they are giving u "a deal" don't take it! in the end it will cause you headaches. Also, never take ur friends advice on recommending a shop if he hasn't taken his car there for a major restoration.

The best thing to do is take it to a restoration shop set up to do this kind of work. A regular collision shop hates doing this kind of work. Ive been in the business for over 25 yrs and if you put that thing in my stall, I would be tempted to walk. No offence, it is just the nature of a collision shop. That is why it takes so long, because no one is working on it. It will get passed from tech to tech (who ever is slow) or the new guy just to test his skills. Trust me, a shop who specializes in these jobs id who you want.
Good luck, it will be nice when done.
