I usually pay $1200 to $2500 for materials to do a car with graphics. The good news is I just saw a Corvette I painted in '87, and it still looks fresh!
He could have used cheap paint and done it 4-5 times to keep it looking good, but the labor would have canceled out the savings a dozen times over.
