It cost me just the cost of materials to paint my Astre... $300. I used Matrix Paint Systems and that layed on smooth as glass. Hardly had to color sand it. But then again, I painted my blazer at 17, so I've had some prior experience. And don't say I had fancy tools, because I did it in my buddy's shop... the same shop we do bodywork, detailing, engine work, chassiswork, and so on!
Just need to grab some materials, and give it a shot! I got some guidance from my dad, and his friend who owns the shop, but I learned the most from getting hands on.
75 Pontiac Astre GT: 406SBC/TH350, roll bar, S10 goodies, down to 11.47 so far, more to come later.
