I'm curious about what the quote would've been if the shop did all the work that you did. Double? Triple?

And a general question: If one were to do all of the prep work, what kind of quote could one expect from a high end/fancy shmancy place? What would it get you? Better paint? Better shooter? Better warranty?

My paint is looking pretty ragged these days, and this thread has got me all worked up!
