With the cost of materials and paint/clear, and the huge amounts of time involved on this, if one can be done correctly for $300, you need to pounce on it NOW, before the installer changes his mind. The cost of paint/clear/reducer/catalyst/etc etc is over $110, and then the resin and matting, plastic filler/sandpaper/tape...the installer will have a profit of around $100 for about 20 hours of labor. If he can do it for that price, I am going to send him as many consoles as I can afford to buy and then re-sell them. This is an INCREDIBLE deal, if they turn out correctly.
