The placed recommended wants $2900 to por15 under the car and in the engine bay and epoxy prime the car .

I must bead blast it first  and send it to them .

 

they will not quote paint 

 

I have had the majority of the panels replaced , so basicall its just strip por and paint .

 

I just want it after its been primed to get the Vtec stuff installed

I am curious if anyone in or around Austin can recommend someone who can do paint work at a reasonable rate on a Classic Mini.  I have had numerous panels replaced , so the shell is about as rust free as a Mini gets .  I am possibly looking for primer , very minor bodywork and a paint job .  

This is a D series Vtec mini with detachable front clip 

 

Thanks in advance !
