For a lot less than half that you could probably buy
all the needed equiptment, supplies, a couple books
and do it yourself. Check out the paint story that we
did on Elijah Scott's 71. Supplies cost about 500
bucks for dark blue metallic (relatively expensive as
paints go).
I think that is very high and the daily storage is
absurd. What's going to happen if they have to wait
for something to arrive. "Oh, we had to order a left
hand widget holder and it took 30 days to arrive so
plan on an extra 300 bucks...?"
