about 250 bucks and your driveway.
At least that's around what I spent on mine. That's including a cheep spraygun.

haha, how did you hoist it off?
and did the paint get everywhere?

This last time I was lucky and did my trailer while the boat was getting gelcoated. But we did take it off the trailer with an engine hoist, floor jack and a few guys.
Overspray? Yeah, I made a mess but if you wet down your drive just before you spray it's not to bad. Just make sure all the cars are moved out of the area.
Putting down some plastic would not be a bad idea.

what paint supply place did you go to?
I am near you, I work in Anaheim.
Did you set the boat on the floor jacks?
Also where did you hook the hoist?
