Clarence, my PT Cruiser, needs to be painted. It's time. He 14 years old now and has been outside all that time. He's red. (Called "Arrest Me Red" by some of the old-timers in town
). And he's got some rust. I know, I know, at this point, he's not even worth the time and expense of a paint job. That being said, I'm simply not ready to give him up and I'm thinking about having him done. If I can get him repainted, I might get another 3-4 years out of him. He's got a new clutch, new tires, and such. I only drive him during the warmer months--drove him yesterday for the first time since sometime in December before we really started getting hammered with the snow. I love the manual tranny. And it was so nice to drive home with the sunroof open and the music blaring. (Hannah, my Tucson, has a panoramic sunroof, but no clutch. And it's just not the same.) I talked to Rick about it and, while he's not crazy about repainting an old car, it's my money and he guesses that if that's what I want to do, well, he's not going to stop me.
My question is: What all is involved in repainting a car and can anybody give me some kind of idea as to how much this may cost? Does anybody know?
Our electrician also paints cars and I've heard he does a great job. I'm going to call him. I was just curious if anybody knew anything about it.
