I'll budget $1000 for complete paint and panel.

Well im out to jump in for a back to bare metal resto on my sandman and im banking on at least $1000 for material alone and that top quailty material 2 pak
go figure

I'll second that. I've gone with 2K DuPont for all of mine and material alone is just on a grand now which doesn't include paper or masking consumables, prepsol or anything else. It will take me a lot longer than I was planning it to but I'm glad the only thing left for me to pay for is a spraypainter and the booth as I can do the rest myself and get it right.
