Well for the stuff you see in the Box, it was 1200, I still have to pick up the 2 bottles of Cnady another $180, also need a 1 Gallon can of 901 ($32), a 5 gallon can of gun wash ($35), a quart of 900 degreaser ($15)

Plus all the sand paper, and wet sanding materials, all said and done I am about $2100-2300 for materials alone.

I also need a new winshield since it cracked when we took it out. All other glass came out great though.

Now this paint has a higher price tag, because of the colors I am using, and in order for the air brush work to set up properly it needs "time windows" (so I am told) for setting up etc.

I could have done it for half the cost, but he had never used that kind of paint before. Everything is PPG paint. I priced House of Kolors and it was almost triple for materials what I am paying now.

Also I am getting paint at his cost. Find a guy that paints and get him to use his discount for it, saves you a few hundred bucks.
