Re: paint - advice?



<snip>
my budget for the job is gonna be about $5k

$5K??? holy shit dude!!! Wal mart has rattle cans for 99 cents! About 4
ought to do the job, 6 if you want one of them there fancy paint jobs. Steal
about 15 Recyclers from a Circle K and you're set for masking paper. Oh, and
4 hefty bags if you don't want spray on the tires. Total cost? about 10
bucks. Spend the rest of your budget on beer, dirty magazines, and 2 Live
Crew CDs. Money well spent, if you ask me.
