honda cancer fix, need help with paint
#12
sheet metal - i had already (is about $10 a roll at a auto part store)
bondo - $20
sand paper - $3-4
primer - $10
matched paint $18
clearcoat - $10
luckly i have a angle grinder and mig welder which made it way easier. you can use low grit sand paper instead of a angle grinder, and a rivet gun instead of a welder. rivet gun is about $20. so it cost me about $65 and took maybe 10 hours? not exactly sure. BTW i did both sides of the car even though i didnt put pictures up, so just to clarify it was $65 for both sides.
*edit - make sure you get acrylic enamel paint & clearcoat. i accedentaly used lacquer clearcoat and apparently gasoline eats right through it so i have to respray clearcoat sometime this week
