$7000 paint job
I think I have about $500 into my paint job. Is it perfect, nope!!! Not at all. But I did it and Im proud of it! I didnt have the money to pay someone to do it and my brother who has built a few cars in his time had all the equipment. He guided me thru the process. It was great. We spent hours in his garage sanding, prepping and all the good stuff that goes with it. Yep my car has flaws all over it, but I've gotten compliments on it also. Makes me feel good that I did it myself. Just cost me the paint and many many many hours.
