the primer, paint, and clear alone will run you over $500. if you prep everything yourself you might be able to find someone to do it for a few hundred bucks as long as the only thing they have to do is spray the car.

I vote for roller... cheap, can turn out good if u do it right (it's not hard), only draw back is it can be time consuming...

As opposed to 'normal' painting.

well depending on the paint job... it takes like 6 coats, and sanding inbetween, and drying time... where as depending on the 'normal' painting... it's a couple coats...

Red's pretty simple, i'd have to find out a set price for sure though.

Red is the most expensive color paint

well i think josh has been wetsanding every other coat... i was told like 6 coats... I guess we'll see here when we get that far... Either way, much cheaper than getting it sprayed (unless u have a good hookup), but more time consuming (unless ur beaner and spray like 1million different coats on)
