How much did the re-paint set you back? That looks really sharp.

I did all the prep work myself, including dismantling the car, sanding/scuffing everything, and putting it back together. Here's everything I paid for:

Paint: 250.00
Prep Supplies: 100.00
Booth Time: 200.00
Labor for Spraying: 350.00
New Bumpers: 200.00
New Spoiler: 100.00
Total Cost: $1200.00

It basically looks brand new, my buddy does an awesome job spraying.

I have a white max, 98. It's holding up very well, I have a bit of rusting begging from hail damage, but I plan on hiding it so the rest of the beautiful paint's image isn't tarnished!
