I had our bus (7 metre) fully resprayed about 4 years ago & was surprised at the cost of the paint, thinners, filler, abrasives, tape etc. It was a lot less than I had expected. The main cost is in the labour as it is very time consuming to get a good job. I did much of the masking up & the ‘elbow work’ myself & the total cost to me was only $2k. Of that I think about $1200 was materials. This was using an acrylic enamel paint that he was familiar with. It wasn’t a ‘show’ job, but was a vast improvement & will keep the rust at bay for years to come.

The ‘after’ pic was taken about two years after it was painted.
