    ghetto customs Who's that Parrish guy?

    Depends on the color. Some quarts can be up to a buck fiddy. Basic whites, blacks and silvers can be as low as $35 a quart. Thus these are the ground colors and won't have to use as much of the expensive color to cover.

    Honestly I could do a sprinter in a few days for about 500 in materials. The labor cost would depend on quality

    I wouldn't want it show quality, just better than Ducote's carb tuning.


    Also, who can cut a couple of huge vinyl stickers that say "Broome's Dirt Cheap Septic Tank Service" with his phone number?

    I'd do it single stage if you're not doing a metallic color. We paint commercial vehicles at my shop and majority get done single stage. PPG Commercial line kicks ass. Painted the Tampa buses 8 years ago with it and they still look great. To do a Sprinter white i'd say $2500

    you prefer Amazon?

    it's a lot less than the same stuff I can buy locally, so what's so hilarious?

    Not knowing what's actually in the can would be my problem. I'd rather go to a local, known, paint store.

    I don't wanna study the MSDS sheet, I just wanna cover up my bondo and fiberglass and make it look decent.. and that ebay stuff worked great for me.

    Guess it works fine for what you want but i wouldn't paint my car or anyone elses car with it. I'll stick with my paint store
