Message	i bought everything PPG.. from the body filler to the clear coat... 5 liters of custom shaded torch/ferrari red, 2 liters of clear coat, 5 liters of ppg thinner, 1 liter of clear coat catalyst, 3 liters of primer and 3 liters of hardener... total cost for everything FROM the paint supply shop was roughly $300 USD... once the car was preped and ready to spray, i rented a spraybooth for the day (saturdays or sundays are the best time) brought all my stuff (paint, spray guns, mask, ect..) and along with a friend of mine went to work on the car... by the end of the day it was done... polished and waxed... the rental fee for the booth was about $60 usd... so the painjob cost me $360 USD in materials, and $50 in beer and food... it also helps if you've done this sort of thing before, otherwise read books on automotive painting... it's not as hard as it seems... *********** ************ *********** "..if it doesn't fit, i'll make it fit..."
