Thanks I did it myself, been messing around with painting a few years now. I do it in my driveway believe it or not. You just use a very fast flash clear. I finish the clear by sanding it with 2000 and then buffing. Clear looks sweet when you remove all the texture and roughness. anyone you can do it with a 69.00 dollar paint gun and 199.00 compressor from Lowes. To answer your question, maybe 400 in materials and about 40 hours of labor. I have some other paint jobs on my website in my profile. I have a friend that does it professionally and he would probably have done this paint job for a grand or 1200 dollars.
