Interesting thread on pelican by a long time poster who knows a lot about painting cars and used to own a successful paint shop.

I decided to paint my Bugeye Sprite myself (my first paint job in 30 years), I bought a gallon of base coat and a gallon of clear and was all in for less than $1000. I needed the gallon cause I kept screwing it up, but it came out nice.
