How MUCH does it REALLY COST to PAINT your own CAR at HOME ( price breakdown)

Today on the channel we are going to give you the total cost of what it costs to paint a car at home in your very own garage, I know there are so many videos about 50,100 300 dollar paintjobs but no one really breaks it down as far as what everything actually cost initially so In this video I will be give you prices for everything from tools to materials

Really impressed with your skills, especially with the space you have been given. I built a Countach kit car out of a single car garage, and that was a challenge getting it painted. That Honda looks great. Proof you don't need a $50K spray booth to produce excellent results. Again, thank you for showing us all the good and bad of this project.

Thanks brother , it’s ultra hard to get these kinds of results unfortunately, and most people trying to do this will have a hard time doing it but nothing is impossible. I try to use what I got sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t

[@ennisgunns]

Great video. You've convinced me to do it myself and learn the process.

[@Mechaniclyfe]

Well worth it , and you’ll learn a ton In The process

Looks good years ago I had a Paint and Body supply company we sold R & M and Dupont boy the prices have gone way up I remember body shop would freak out when a QT factory pack would cost 30 bucks how things have changed !!!

[@Mechaniclyfe]

30 bucks? A quart now a days is atleast triple that

Hey Chris interesting video and yeah it is cheaper to paint your car at home but I think a lot of people do it just for the fun and enjoyment with the cost saving being a side benefit.
The main cost is the initial outlay of all your tools so if you already have them then it would be a lot cheaper. Your car came out looking better than you would get from a lot of the body shops so you should be proud of what you have done👏👌
You should do some more resprays Chris so you can recoup some of your outlays🙏🙏👍John UK.

[@Mechaniclyfe]

Thank you John I tried to get the best result possible, it took a lot of hard work of course , I’m for sure going to be doing some resprays those are coming soon

[@JohnWD40TC02]

Be great to see you doing more resprays Chris, looking forward to seeing them👍

[@2koolforyou88]

She looks good 👍 I know i got a good investment in materials including getting a compressor, lines filters guns cleaners etc It probably would take me awhile maybe days to try to figure out how much I actually spent to get everything I need and still buying stuff lol stuff still cheaper to do it yourself and you have displayed it here just alot of time and effort 💯

[@Mechaniclyfe]

Absolutely, we are always still accumulating more in materials , I didn’t include the polish I bought but that varies

[@2koolforyou88]

@@Mechaniclyfe when I get to that stage gotta teach myself or watch some videos and invest in that stuff as well
