never realized what it costs, since I haven't painted a car to this detail since 1975...blocked a '74 Corvette...took 4 months to get it right...painted it a cadilac firemist brown with gold flakes...brown leather t-tops...fiberglass front and rear bumpers...quite a task...4 months later was hit broadside by a drunk....bummer...never had the urge to do it again...
