I did my white Kick myself.... went from Navy Blue to a Lexus white.. the results were awesome BUT.....
1- I had help... lots of help... from the stripping the vehicle. to a paint and body guy to inspect my prep work to re installing everything...
2- body filler, primer, paint etc.. ended up costing me around $350
3- It took lots of time (being my first attempt at doing it). Everytime I thought I had the body properly sanded Chris would walk around the rig with a satin glove and a can of spray paint pointing out every place I did not have it smooth enough to look good after spraying it.. Forgranted this was a trail rig but I wanted it to look good and wanted to learn everything that was involved in the process
4- when I finally had her prepared.. I thought I had her clean and learned different with my first spray... so let her dry, re sanded the spot and cleaned the surface MUCH better.

This was using commercial grade sprayers, sanding supplies etc... I loved the result but I would not do it again if I had other resources to get it done....BUT well worth the experience....
