I made my living at it for over 35 yrs. 1971 > . First question I'd ask is " are you OK with the fact that 6 mos after I paint it for you , it starts bubbling under paint job? Just because no rust shows, doesn't mean it isn't lurking just under his inch thick bondo. Once I paint that car for you , you can bet I will " own" anything that shows up as a flaw in the next two years. As has been stated below, only way I would touch it is with a full sheet disclaimer, relieving me of any and all liability , the same as a home builder would if you wanted him to build a new home on an existing foundation and grade. Also, why don't you ask if you can do all the "grunt work" like sanding and masking , to keep costs down? I found , whenever I had this situation, customer couldn't afford or thought it was tooo much, and I offered to let them "help" themselves out....all the sudden , no deal. Most shops have seen it all and heard it all and are tired of being taken to small claims court over stuff like this.So, yes, he probably didn't want to do it but figured if he had to, it would be $ 4000. $ 1000 just to cover court costs when it bubbles through in 6 mos and you blame his paint. Offer to sign a complete disclaimer form obsolving him of any and all liability and he might lower cost a little ...help out and maybe even more.
