    Disclaimer: I've never had any body/paint done in Chicago or Illinois, but can imagine a high overhead in the area.
    I'm only guessing but in Chicagoland I'd say $5k would be cheap. If you're painting the condo in your avatar that's a lot of "real estate" to cover.
    About 8 yrs. ago my buddy had just his rear frame blasted and painted in the Quad Cities for around $800.
    Google, "cheap, fast, good"
    BOL, and please keep us updated.

    I'll private message you the number. I have had my truck being worked on there million times. I'm not sure what they will charge you for the paint, but they will give you an estimate before doing it.

    Yeah man.. nice meeting you.
    Never know who we come across out here. Never in a million would I expect to meet someone in the middle of no where here.

    No mistaking the Hurst house.
