The Cost of Paint Jobs

[Jeff Lee]

First was the artist rendition. I think I had $2800 just in materials on my car. Dupont's version of House of Kolor. Primer, silver base and then the color and clear. It started out as the "sponsor special", materials only and turned into $10K all done. Best Appearing first time out though...

Also, you can't get a paint job better than Maaco at a retail shop for less than $5K on a street car. EPA drove the cost up. So if you look at that then talk race car graphic design, $10K isn't horrible. That's retail of course.
