I knew I had the right place then :^) Seems like a good reaction. > So they're gonna fix her up and put on primer. Then I'm gonna take her > someplace cheaper and get a full body paint job.

The cheap guys will just give you a job that you'll never be happy with. OTOH, a complete respray is REALLY expensive to get done RIGHT. I don't know how bad the rest of your paint is, but a car that has been repained a different color will always look like exactly that unless you spend LOTS of money to get everything redone. The Marina Blau is the classic late type 3 color and is really a nice color. - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/
