Some people will pay whatever it takes because, they want what they want!

If you do a search of this forum using the word "paint" you will find many post that I have recently made regarding DIY rattle can jobs. If the frame is special, pay to have someone equipped with proper facilities to spray automotive grade materials. Powdercoating is hands down the winner in durable & affordable. Rattle canning it yourself is by far the least exspensive.

As a reference point, my "Caribean Carnival" paint job runs $3,995.

Funny what some people are "willing to pay"!
