The paintjob exceeds the value of the car lmao.
Materials- $750 for the paint/reducer, another $850 for the clear/reducer/hardener, $70 for primer, Probably right around $200ish for tape/sandpaper, buffing compound, etc., Around $150ish on bondo/panelbond (what I used to fill the licence plate.. doesnt show warps in the sun like covering it with bondo does)..

Then the new mouldings came out to $300 (front fastener/trim, sunroof (which was a bitch to get the old one off), and rear, all new hood bumpers/etc.
$200 to have the windows removed and put back on.

Way more than I really wanted to think about haha.

If it was just someone walking off the street it would be a $7-10k paintjob with labor and all.
