I had a guy look at my Hot Rod one day and wanted to know if I painted cars for others and I told him I did. So later that week my wife and I went to his house (huge mansion) and looked at his '65 Mustang that he was building for a show car and gave him a quote.
He looked at me like I was the biggest dummy in the world and said that there was no way a paint job cost that much, and he had somebody already tell him that they would do it for $450 bodywork and all. I laughed and told him that if thats all he wanted to pay then go for it.
I saw the car at a show right after it was painted and it looked like the guy used a roller to paint it. I swear it looked like a relief map of the moon it was so rough looking. He asked me if my price was still good for painting his car and told him "You couldn't afford me then and you cant afford me now, just be happy with what you got"!
