What I considered doing for my Westy was completing the all the prep
work in my garage. Remove the bumpers, glass, etc; tape all the
no-paint parts, sand and prep the small areas of rust. In other words,
get it completely prepped and then hire a flat bed tow truck to drop it
off and pick it up at the paint shop. According to the shops I spoke
with I could cut my costs from a $3000.00 paint job down to $1000.00 by
doing this. The only thing I did not feel confident doing was putting
on a smooth coat of Savannah Beige Metallic for my '85 Westy.
