I don't need show quality.

SO true. How much is just thre spray? Does anyone have a clue on that one? And for the prep work what all needs to be done? I know the basics but I'd like to also do the prep work myself.

No body kits. I'm putting the side skirts back on and that's the closest to a body kit I'll ever have.

I don't know what joe off the street pays, but I pay about $350 for a basic full respray. My local Maaco charges the taxi companies $400 for a color change, but they don't do the door jambs or engine bay. I only say to pull the trim off yourself because their tapers suck and it takes longer to clean up the overspray than to just pull the trim and lights yourself. Plus they'll probably cut you a break if they have less taping to do. They are really slow right now, so bartering will get you a decent paint job for a good price.
