I agree with Mike.

As for the 40 hours .... that might be enough time to get a car with ruff body and paint into condition for the next 40 hours of painting and 40 hours of precision wetsanding and polishing .... but you can cut that down using a better polisher than the $25 single speed ones that won't give the top results you have seen here.

Now the way I figure it .... making $25 and hour that would make this about a $3000 paint job that I will only have to spend not more than $300 hard cash on if I don't have the paint, paper, PC7424, pads and PoorBoys already .... and after that is purchased I can gloss up 2 of my other cars that have good OEM paint for FREE.

And .... I am sure there are a lot of Miata owners that have spent more than 3 Grand for results half what Aussie has.

Can't wait to get started ... with Brightside or Pettit or both.
