having no life, i read most of the 102 pages on the original site where the process was posted. rustoleum is the first brand, another guy used marine paint.

If you reed the end of the article, it was the paint and thinner and roolers that cost them the $98. Body work, buffing, and everything else is what added up the price. Its still pretty cheap though.
