like 6k i think. I dont think your boss wants to pay to get any candy color your better off getting a normal color off a car you like. like the escalade red you were talking about

wow i am the exact same situation. same car (milano red ek coupe), and i work at a body shop, but my car sustained suspension damage, which distroyed the fenders an bumper in the process and since i have to paint half the car for a blend anyway i figure expletive it, might as well go all the way, i'll prolly keep it red though.
