I bought 3 qts of base and with the reducer/stabalizer I believe it was $200. I had the clear coat from other jobs but that would have been another $120 I beleive for a gallon with its activator.

Yeah, I would plan on spending about $300 for supplies for any car that size. I paid nothing for my paint job, but I'm a lucky bastard... :P lol I had to rub it in.

I'm from Ortonville, not far from you. I spend most of my time in Big Rapids during this time of year for college though. Strange to find someone so close to home on here.
I bought the paint from Wiltses, its on Dixie Hwy in waterford I beleive.

another tip for anyone sprayin in a garage or un-climate controlled area. Hose down the floor w/ water to keep dust down. :)

ineedturbo,

I'm sorry bud, I hardly had time to paint this one let alone take on another task...and my fathers car is next like I stated above.

crx88si,

Thats a good suggestion but on that note make sure not to spray too much water. You just want the floor damp. I "read" about someone kicking/splashing a little water onto the car once somewhere and messing up the paint ;) ;) ;) ;)
