    Storing the stang soon, any advice???

    How much for a good paint job?

    No orange peel will mean wetsanding and clearcoat,and more wetsanding and clearcoat.Then buffing.The quality of the paint is also a factor.Cheap paint jobs will use a cheap paint.This is the same reason the shops can't or won't give phone-in estimates.
