I just don't know what kind of market there will be for it... honestly i would feel like i'm ripping people of because paint is not cheap... and i would want somthing for the time i'd put into it

i priced it out, if i didn't have the paint for mine already just sitting around

tape
sand paper (4-5 covers)
grease/wax remover (4-5 covers)
Adhesion promotor (plastic primer) (could do 2-3 covers with)
Black paint (1 cover) depends on how many coats i do maybe 2 covers)
Silver (i'm guessing anywhere from 2-4 covers)
Clear coat (1-2 covers)
Silver for letters ( a ton of covers )

all that your looking at $50 easy in just suplies + whatever the cover cost me
all dupicolor perfect match automotive paint

i could go with a cheaper paint but i don't think it would look nearly as nice when finished

i'd honesly would want to charge $80-$90 and i just don't see people paying that much for one but i could be wrong
