About 18 months ago I had my red and cream 83.5 completely repainted. The

guy did not take out the glass and replace the rubber gaskets (in
retrospect, I wish I had asked for that); but he did a good job taping and
he took all rusty spots down to shiny metal. The whole job, with a neat
added stripe, was $1,800. That was about the same bid I got from two other
local guys. I am still pleased. The work seems  be holding up fine. 



One complaint: he did miss a little spot under the driver's side rear
sliding winding. I had to grind and prime it the other day. Hence my
conclusion that it would have been smart to pay the extra bucks to have the
glass removed and the gaskets replaced while I was at it.
