All the prep work (fillin and sandin) was done by me then the paintin was done in my garage by rich (xr4x4rs) with a little bit of time body effort its amazin the results you can get. Its proper time consumin though.
Worth it in the end, i would hate to think how much it would have cost having it done by a body shop.
