New paint job
This off season I'm contemplating on respraying my '02 cup and restoring it to its formal glory when it won the inaugural 25 hr of Thunderhill back in '03.
The car is currently painted black and wrapped, so all of that will need to come off. For those that have gone down this path, did you use a regular body shop for the work? What would a typical respray cost? I'd ideally like to clean up the interior too. I'm budgeting $5-$7K for this, but not sure if that's realistic.

Thanks guys. My budget didn't include strip and reassembly - just the actual paint job itself. Either way sounds like that's not realistic. My last wrap cost around that much so I should have figured that wasn't enough.

^ i delivered a fully stripped tub to paint shop. one did my 6gt3 one did my hippie
the INTERIOR alone was $5000, that's with discount. but as you have seen the cars, i have higher standards than most ppl. even a "regular" job, in and outside, would be 10k EASILY
spend the money on slicks.

I removed the original wrap on ViperBob's car (long before he bought it) and it was MUCH more difficult and time concuming than I expected. The type of wrap makes a huge difference on removal

sometimes when the wraps are removed you find a few suprises with the body panels also

Talk to a couple of different shops and their previous customers. Inspect the work if you can.
Just remember- if you pay peanuts, you get monkeys!
