They told me that they make a cut by ordering parts for people and them painting them.. So they are losing money by me supplying the parts.. pretty lame huh?

Yea I ran into that around here a bit when trying to get my Tbird hood painted. No one wants to do little stuff, they want to do the whole car because there's more money in it. You just have to ask around enough until you find someone.

Well it's the friend deal. The Sandblasting is $70/hr at a sandblasting company I found in the yellow pages, The paint is about $100/qt. and my friend already has the primer, clearcoat and all the other stuff. So depending upon what he will let me pay him, I will be out $200-$400 range.
