I spent close to $2K painting Flight Risk, but that's 24' hulls, 3 crossbeams, center and fwd pods. I did 90% of the prep, and was around for masking and moving the pieces around over the course of 4 or 5 days. I used $950 worth of very expensive automotive paint (Viper red and Corvette yellow, with clear coat). The bodyman was a friend of mine, so I only paid him around $700, and the graphics guy got $200 for a days work.
