A quart of paint was about $80, clearcoat was $30 i believe, plus i had to buy primer, sealer, flex additive (cuz the bumper flexs), reducer, hardener, etc. So, all in all i prolly payed a little bit more than $200 for all the ground effects. But now i do have the experience to paint cars!

yeah mainly lots of bodyfiller, we didnt use bondo, we had to buy some special bodyfiller that actually can flex so it doesnt crack. and yeah, were gonna have to make a custom grill.
