In Response To: Re: Other: Automobile finish (Mike Bielski)

If I were to go to a typical auto painter, what would be the cost for materials and labor to spray? I'd be willing to buff on my own if no special equipment was needed.
I ask someone who had a small shop and we had a mutual friend. Granted he does not know much about kayaks, but he thought the materials alone would be several hundred dollars. How close was his estimate???

My funds are rather tight and my labor is cheap even if the result is not world class.
