One also must remember each shop (Macco) is independently owned and operated. Some may like to stick out their chest and say, I spent 7k to paint my vette. I think some people's egos come into play about the painting a vette issue. Regardless whether you spend 7k or 1.5k when you drive your car you are subject to stone damage, parking lot dings, jealous fools, and the big one, an accident. Yes I understand that the prep work is labor intensive and the materials are expensive. I would feel better if a get a scratch or chip on a Macco job as opposed to dealing with car park paranoia and the psychological stress having paint damage after spending 7k or more on a paint job. That bieing said, if you can afford to spend 7k or more for your vette, go for it, if you want to use Macco do so. Some shops MAY see a vette and go cha-ching!!!! I do know that it didn't take (6months+) to paint C3 vettes when they were on the road like the cars of today or if a shop chooses to focus on the vette and get it done. Most "good" body shops it takes 6 month to forever to paint your vette. I took my vette to a Macco and the owner said it would take 3-4 weeks to make any repairs, perp, and paint. I cant see paying $7,000+ for a vehicle you drive.
