Most of your average painters who spray cars all the time don't like to spray kandy. It's a lot of work and really time consuiming and if you mess up after a couple of coats have already been sprayed you have to start all over again not to mention it would be a huge waste of money if a mistake was made and paint isn't cheap. I paid $500 for the paint alone, that was base coat, kandy paint, hardners, clear etc. So if you know how to paint well already you could attempt it yourself, but if you've never sprayed a car before I would not recommend it at all. Most shops charge between $5k -$7 for a car like ours. My painter would probably charge you $2k - $3k (that's including the price of the paint itself as well). He's located in Orange County, CA.
