How Much to Pain a Fish

I have an old mount that just needs repainting. How much for a 3 foot bluefish? By the way - I tried to do it myself so there might be some correcting involved. Thanks.

Call your local taxidermist. Probably close to half what the original cost.

Thanks. Sounds like a throw away - too bad there are memories with this fish.

Keep painting it yourself. Over the years you'll forget what it originally looked and be happy.

I charge $85 to repaint fish up to 36 inches, but since you repainted it and I use lacquer paints it can cost you up to 150 to strip and repaint.
