yeah i did work experience at a panel beaters for 2 weeks, was sh*t as lol, but i did learn a bit. you've done well for your first attempt thats for sure. did you already have a compressor and gun, or did you have to buy them for that job. what about paint? how much did you spend on it? i've always wanted to attempt it but meh, cbf, but i am sort of considering it as a future possibility (not anytime soon though).
i got the basics of body prepping, but if i screw up, and it looks crap, who cares.... its only a cheap car
cheers,
VB
i already had my own gun, borrowed a compressor.
paint was about $700 all up
including, hi fill + hardener ,4l yellow colour + hardener, 1l asteroid silver, reducer, 500ml clear, prepsol, paint filters, tack rags etc etc
i love cepters on th VL's but u got have the center cap on em .. otherwise thay look like real cheap .. but u cant go past VS acclaim hubbies .. its wat i got on mine .. but thay are respayed to suit the colour of the bumpers .. which is a dark grey. i would put a pik up but i dunno how to do it .. lol

700 sounds pretty good to me.
I'd like to do this myself aswell but I don't have any indoor/garage space.
I'd probably give it to a panel beater if they can do it for around 1000-1300

If you can find someone to do it that cheap let me know.
