DIY Whole Car paint!

Cost? Material? Time? Advice? Hookups? Rentals?

Anything that will help me make the right decision. I don't have $2000 to blow on a paint job.

TIA

dont get me wrong, a DIY paint job for a whole car might not turn out good.
even if u have the skills to do it and the complete materials/tools needed, wouldnt u still need a place to do it like those booths that a shop has?
some shops that have everything still screw up their jobs.
ill save up if i were u and then have a pro do it. i saw that new affiliate that does this work might wanna try them.
just my .02 cents

i can get u a paintjob complete for 1200.

but to answer ur question they do have rental booths where you pay them like 2 hundred bucks go in and do watever and then ur done. Just remember DUST PARTICLES even if u dont see it they will still be there.

3 base 3 clear.
Custom colours obviously will be more depending on the colour etc.
1200 tends to be stock colours off other vehicles such as bmw, honda, toyota etc..
