Holy crapola! I painted an HZ last year

- Did the panel and rust repairs myself with a mate $300 in paid labour, paper, mig gas and filler etc
- Spot primed and puttied repairs $50
-Buzzed the body with 240grit
- Booth hire $120
-Painter $180
- 8L of cheap 2k white $220
- Did the blackouts at home $50

So it was $1000 in materials and labour. Didnt come out perfect but ive seen far worse for $5000

my mate owns a panel shop. he re painted some other shops abortion recently that the fella had spent 100K on panel and paint. The same mate did rust repairs, puttied, blocked, painted and buffed his HX kinga in a weekend. Could easily win some trophies if he showed it.
