Thanks guys. In terms of the costs.. Paint, primer, and clear coat alone was about $1000. Didn't buy anything cheap. In terms of the labor.. My buddy was the one who did the job and I helped every night after work so its not gonna end up costing me much. But I'm sure if he was normally gonna charge someone, it would have been about $3000ish, maybe more cause we did some custom work and removed the sidemarker holes. Was about a 2 week process for everything.. we're still wrapping up a few things.
