The blue paint for my '91lx (well the youngest boy now) was $175 a gal. plus all the little extra's. About $550 total for the materials just to paint the car. No major body work either.....and I had all the sandpaper, strainers etc. etc. I have about $750-$850 total in my DIY paint job. That includes all the buffing material also.
Which by the way is still a lot cheaper than $1800-$2200 which is what I was quoted before I decided to just go ahead and do it myself.

The only problem I have now is my wife wants me to paint the engine bay while the engine is out of it........
