what color? you do realize how expensive paint is right? If you want something really cheap look up the paint roller method, or rattle can. If done right both can look decent.

what color do you want? I know a guy who does "professional" paint jobs, but will do a $500 dollar paint job for ya, think of it like a maco paint job.

roller paint looks great when done correctly. but takes alot of time

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.

Matt Johnson or something?

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

roller paint isnt supposed to be less than 10 coats. its very thin. wet sand much?

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)
