My son and I attended the build school last weekend. Really enjoyed the build, got decent exposure to all elements of the build but had one big surprise. When cost of painting came up the instructor estimated eight to ten thousand as a starting point. I asked about the new Mk4 body and the comments that it required much less prep and they said that was taken into consideration.

While I could see that price for a show quality car it doesn't seem inline to me for a daily driver. Would any of you that have recently had a paint job done or any of the builders that read the forums comment on cost of Daily driver paint job with stripes and how color choice might affect the cost.
