[QUOTE="muddinmetal, post: 527266, member: 3701"] Counting bodywork and trim it is very easy to rack up 200 hours in an all over job... Our primer alone is almost $400 a gallon, so a $8,500 job - $1000 in materials leaves $7,500 or $37.50 an hour, plus you have super expensive equipment & facilities so you have about $20 an hour to pay your body men & painter. HA!!!! Try to find a painter who will work for that. PLUS, white people who spend that kind of money are never happy so you get to do some of it twice, cutting into even more of your "profit". So, why screw with a job that takes up so much room & time when you could hang 15 bumper covers in it's spot that you get in from used car dealers that you make $100 each off of? Even at a low guess: 10 bumpers a day = $ 1,000 profit vs. all over paint job that takes 20-25 business day that you may make $1000 off of if you don't lose money $20,000-$25,000 in your pocket or $1000 or less, which would you prefer?
