I'm just finishing up a night class(AUTO PAINT) at a local tech school. Teacher told me I buy the paint and we can paint my car. Paint cost was $350.oo That was just paint 1 gallon base coat with reducer and clear with activator. Not counting the primer,Guide coat, alot of sand paper, prep sol, tack cloths and labor. Cost of 3 - 48 hrs sections $1200.00 You dont relize the amount of time and effort that really goes into a nice job till "you been there Done That" I would diffently agree with some of the above metioned Ideas. CHEAP PAINT JOB go to MAACO Otherwise Just leave it alone, wash once in a while and start doing a little body work from time to time untill you can finally afford a nice job.
Thats my .03
