Thanks MrFail.
Well over 1K you say!
I only paid <$500 for the acrylic supplies for my moke's interim job!
Mind you, that was concept paints brand
Is the finish really that different between concept paints and something like deeber or ppg? Obviously someone in the trade would laugh at the question, but to average joe who will be driving, and looking at the car, how noticable is the difference?
Also, this is a silly question, but how much would the paint in a cheaper brand, like concept paints set me back?
Would be nice to keep paint suppy costs under $800 if possible, but do it once, do it right I suppose (Within budgetary reason!)
The price you spend is really determined on what you need to buy. If you go back to bare metal, a good epoxy adds on a couple hundred to your list. But like i said above, if you are doing it in Direct Gloss, it will be alot cheaper than doing it in C.O.B likei did.especially as igot an expensive clear.
Will it look much different by using cheaper brand paint. Probably not. But ask the same question after a few years of sun and weather , and the answer could be very different.
Its really your call......it is your money afterall.
