Well, paint remover was 7$, bead blasting (tap area, some spots on the downside) 10$. I've payd 180$ for the painter + around 60$ for the decals. It makes 257$ total.
Paint was from Spiess Hecker, premium stuff from Germany. Basecoats and 3+3 clearcoats.

$180 for the painter including products?

It had to have been a buddy project. He took it in the shorts for his labor or he got the product from the shop where he worked.

You got a good deal. It just doesn't add up.
