how much was the paint job?

Looks like he did it himself(from the pictures of him spraying his car), so i'm guessing cost of paint and equipment.

Painting it myself saved a bundle. the base coat cost $250 a gallon though. The, base, clear, solvents, primer, etch, paper, etc. added a lot, but in all it was about $800 in supplies. (this doesn't include all the metal work and rust repair costs which I did myself along with my dad - fabrication guru) but better than paying $4000+ for someone else to do it!
