one of his buddies did a custom job on a viper, and all done and finished that had a car that was invited to sema....with a total paint cost of 40k
wow. 40k in paint is a lot. i was thinking 4-6k, but i'm gonna help with the sanding, too, which eats up a lot of labor, so it may end up being less. also, to keep the costs down, i will not be going with black. any black car that isn't done correctly looks like ass.
