Thread: whats a good price on a paint job

But, Shine said 9k.

i was being light on the materials. the type of work don and i do will eat up a lot of money in materials . and my 9k is just labor. i no longer buy the materials and do not stock a cabinet full of stuff.. the customer buys his own. he buys his primers / colors / clears . i buy all my expendables such as sandpaper, compounds and such. i got tired of explaining the cost so now they will tell you straight off it cost a lot. some reds are damn near 1000 a gallon.

i will tell you this. the gun hand at a macco is 9 times out of 10 damn good. he shoots 10 cars + a day. if you go to a macco demand to supply your own paint and clear. personally i would use spi as barry now sells black. his primers and clears are second to none.

See the word MINIMUM ???
Just give the guy info.
Did a 72 shortwide @ the first of the year.
Customer brought it to me dissassembled.
Empty cab,doors off, front clip in pieces, bed off etc.
Body work had been done previously.
Shot all in BC/CC Black, color sand and buffed.
He picked it up and re assembled.

200 hrs labor x 40 = 8000.00 (5 weeks)
materials 2500.00
---------
$10,500
