yeah but come on, the dude seriously busted his ass to do that.
Some people don't have the time, hence the reason for paying someone else thousands to do it for them.
I think prepping is probably the part most people don't feel comfortable tackling on their own without screwing it up.

the guy also stated that he did it to one bug 6 years ago and teh paint looks just as good now as it did then.
Rustoleum is some pretty strong, long lasting stuff, especially the Industrial stuff.

once i finished with the 9 payments left on my contour im going to start looking for a 86 mr2 without rust damage. than build it up. mainly suspension , brakes , wheels and drivetrain. than save the body work for last. i liek the contour and all but it cant fill the mr2 void. the contour does have a lot more power than teh mr2 and is faster but i dont think it could ever compare to the mr2 when it comes to handling especially at high speeds.
