  • $20 paint job

    Used $10 Rustoleum Sail Blue and $10 gal. mineral spirits. Used touch up gun. Could be near perfect with experimentation and practice! Need slave to sand and tape. http://www.flickr.com/photos/6698673...57629770105882

    That does look good! I like the "sail blue."

    More info, please!

    First, the "fifty dollar paint job."

    Now, the "twenty dollar paint job."

    Next: the "ten dollar and twelve cents paint job."

        Good work. Better than expected for $20! I saw the title and was hoping it wasn't just spray paint. Haha.

          I should point out that $20 doesn't include the air compressor and gun.

              That is incredible! I wonder about it's durability? I love that blue, just like the sky.

                Throw in a little white and you might be able to duplicate Festiva aqua.
