Yep if you do all the prep your self then you can get a cheap paint job, but
then again you are doing all the work. Shooting the paint is the fast and
easy part dose take some real skill but not that much time. If you take the
time which is a lot 80 hours or so to do the prep so you have a nice paint
job, then you wouldn't want to spray on the quality of paint production
shops like Macao and earl use.
