hahahahaha thats all I gotta say.

$150 at the most and even still, that's still high.

Like said above, you can take them apart yourself and just give them the outer shell to paint.

$200 is a good price considering the amount of prep and clean up involved.

Clean up and prep takes more time than the actual spraying
