After painting my parts Idon't know about that. I spent $720 on supplies to paint my hood and hatch using Dupont Chromo paint. I might have been able to shave $200 off that buy not buying some of the extar stuff like sand paper, tack cloths, lacquer fill, primer etc..
Agreed. Painting an entire car w/o the facilities, equipment, and experience necessary to do the job right would either cost you 4 to 5 times as much, or produce a paint job that looked 4 to 5 times as bad, for my money I'll let the pro's do the repaints.

unfortunately, he claimed to be a pro, citing his own t2 as a reference...I should've known :(

Good to know Dave.

keep in mind shops buy at a far better discount then people

off the street. We buy 5% over cost, they give out the discounts

according to how much paint you buy so everyone doesnt get the

deep discounts.

Man, that looks horrible. I've seen better paint come from Earl Scheibe's and Maaco's $200 paint service.
