Default How much for a flat black paint job?

On a set of tins?&nbsp\\; Does anyone know offhand.&nbsp\\; Not "denim" but just a regular flat black primer.&nbsp\\; I want to get my other set of tins flat black primered and pinstiped red and white with a "coop" devil head or some lesbian devil girls or something on them.&nbsp\\; Totally gangsta hot rod style.&nbsp\\; What do you think, and is this the kind of paint job a first timer could themselves? &nbsp\\;

$600 maybe for good sheet metal and a scuff and squirt. The paint job your talking about without a chic would be around $1200.00-$1500.00 in Chicago. Prime it yourself, just watch for overs spray. It's not a big deal at all, if your just using primer and not a satin finish.

Saw one one at the Kearney Mesa dealer yesterday,,,,,,he had it 99% blacked out,looked real sharp. He said he rarely washes it, because the flat/matte black really does hide to average dirt. Not sure what he used, but it looked hot, literally
