If you haven't seen the thread about painting your endura bumper, you might want to do a search. You will need to purchase some additional solvents, fillers and epoxy primer that will need to be figured into the cost. Endura does shrink some over the years, so you may need to fill and shape to match your fenders properly. My body guy had over 40 hours into mine, but it fits perfectly to the fenders and hood.

My cost to paint this car at home is in line with others: $2-3k, not counting the $800 IR 60 gal single stage air compressor.

Like Kerry I also wanted to build a car myself. I wanted to know how to do things like paint a car. Knowing I can paint a car is worth more than what I spent on the paint job.
