Umm, wet sand and power sander don't belong in the same paragraph, dude. wet sanding is done 100% by hand.

I painted this for about $150 but I used single stage paint (since I was painting it to sell)





But I already had a good paint gun and all the other equipment I needed to do it.

Ok send me your corners and $40 and I can do yours just like those. Those are not UK corners but clears that I tinted with my special mixture of paint and clear. I charge $40 including shipping back to you.

wait so your dad is giong to charge you $200 to paint your car? Or are you saying the paint is going to be $200?

Dont bother with $200 paint unless you plan on selling it soon. Paint is not cheap...well not good paint anyway. I did the black paint job I posted earlier with single stage paint because I am selling it...well actually sold it now. It still cost me about $150 for cheap SSU paint.

Heck even PPG's omni would be around $300 for BC/CC and that is really the only cheap paint I would consider on a car I will keep. That is not including any primer (good primer is not cheap btw).

I am just saying this now so you dont get sticker shock later on when you start pricing all the supplies you will need.
