if you want it to be affordable, you need to do it yourself. just watch some of those youtube videos and you'll see why the labor is expensive.Practice will be the best way to learn it. YouTube videos will help a lot, but you need seat time to get better.I would practice with the vinyl plotter cutters I planted on using. I've always used 3m 1080. If I can do a car for under 500, I see no reason to try to go cheaper.
