these are the cheapest materials you can use and still have a nice paint job.It all depends on how you want it done,would we need to do the bottom side? does the sheet metal fit? any welding? on a scale of 1-10 how strait is the body (dents)? are you willing to sand the body and get it ready for epoxy prime (starting prime)? do you pay cash? do you want it wet sanded and buffed?All these play a part in the final bill.We have painted a number of race cars from 3500.00 to 7000.00, 150 hrs cost 3750.00 plus materials you pay for body materials up front and paint and clear when it is ready to spray.We bill every 50.00 hrs after you look at and we go over what we did.That is as fair as it gets.We have three lined up for this winter and may be able to do one more.
