Anyone have an idea on the material cost? Someone on the list a few weeks ago suggested checking into technical schools with auto body repair programs to see if they would do a paint job. I have found one here in AL that is interested and might give it a go. They want the cost of materials plus 15%. That seems very reasonable to me if I can convince them to go ahead.
Is it going to be the best paint job ever and last me 20 years? Probably not. But looking good from 25 feet at 25 mph is a huge improvement over the faded baby puke yellow I've got now...
Anyway, I was interested in what the material cost might be. Obviously there are a lot of variables, but is it in the $500 ballpark or the $2000 ballpark for 2 colors and some clearcoat? Any ideas?
Thanks,
