Rules of gas pump painting:
1) Bodyshops = Insurance Companies = $$$$$
2) Good Custom P&B = has lots of work = $$$$ = long wait or flat out no
3) $250 quote = inexperience = wants more $$$ = may not finish = last one they will ever do. Metal working 18 gauge 60 year old metal is not easy.
4) Do it yourself stripping, bodywork, paint = savings = lots of hard nasty work = satisfaction with pump
5) $1000 paint on $250 pump is not reasonable
6) $25 paint on $2500 pump is not reasonable
7) Powdercoat Finish and a few blems may be easiest and most satisfying ????
