Prep is everything and the price of the paintjob is directly tied to the hours spent on prep. The difference between a $10K paint and a $40K paint is Earl Shiebs vs Concourse. You need to decide where you want to be in it and how long you want it to last before it starts bubbling up or flaking off.

… Or more accurately…. The difference between a $ 4.5 K paint and a $ 40K paint is some one willing to do most of the work themselves or someone willing to let someone else help them spend their money for them and most likely with the same end result … - uncle dave
