I've mostly painted my vehicles myself. I would spend about 4 to 7 hundred on materials back in the late 80's and early 90's. Just depends on how fancy I got. Acrylic enamel in one non-metallic color is at the low end. Urethane with Z/28 stripes and clear coat is at the high end. Always use 3M sandpaper since it lasts longer and cuts better than the China crap. Always use quality primer and paint since you only want to do this once and you want it to last. Follow those rules and you'll be happy.
