hes a pro = no orange peeeeeeeel
dont try this yourself!
Way too much. I had the same project this summer. I went to a couple automotive paint shops and asked for pricing on clear coat if they included my piece amongst other jobs. I paid around $20-$30 IIRC, because they've got their profit from the other job already and my request is pure gravy for them....got quoted $100 plus tax at some repair shop.
