Re: What's a fair price for a paint job?

Materials alone on a truck, just outside can easily run 2000 bucks for good epoxy, highbuild, sealer, basecoat, and clear. A good job if one were to strip, prime, block, seal, and paint BCCC can start around 7000, that is at my modest shop rate of 55/hr and figuring on 2000 in materials. That being said if you look over in the 47-5? Section and look for the heading "cheese wagon" you will se a 1952 Grummond I painted that ended up costing bout 3 grand plus materials. We have one car in the shop that is up to 350000 and it's almost ready for paint, although that includes building the chassis and it's well over 3000 hours. There are so many variables
