Ok. Its 35 bucks per layers of paint. You'll need like 10 layers. So 350 bucks. Assumming that its 25 bucks per houre. It'll take about 5 hours. So 125 Dollers there. Then your gonna need to buy a case. So thats like 150 dollers. So total is about 625 bucks

It looks something like this, and she actually only took 25 minutes including the snack break.

Well ya. But if you really want it to look as good as the cases you buy for like 1k It'll take alot longer and you'll need to apply multiple layers of paint and gloss

Nice paintjob. ==' People do it because they want to, because they have money and because they're not that cheap.
