redriderbob> heh heh I said it was a 12k paintjob... I never said that's what I'm paying for it LOL. I'm a trained autobody tech/painter. I'm buying the supplies, using my friend's shop, and painting it myself. So I'm actually only putting $375-$400 into it for supplies

Now on the other hand, if someone hits my car, and it's their fault... it'll cost THEM 12k to replace the paintjob, since it's custom LOL
