What sort of car and what sort of finish?

1500 will get you a tape everything up and squirt it with paint job.. Nothing decent.

I would've thought you'd have to spend a fair bit more than $1500 to get a decent quality job done. I'd suggest he saves a bit more money as everyone I've seen get a cheap paintjob just ends up wanting to get it done again shortly after.
