I know this has been asked many times, and it is a subjective question - but here goes
I am stripping down my car for paint, removing decklids, engine tranny, bumpers, seals, lights, pulling wiring back and initially taking down the first layer of paint. The car is fairly straight. How much labor hours in a guesstimate would it take for paint? painting trunks, jambs, maybe engine compartment in the same, stock light ivory color. And a guesstimate in color sanding as well. |

QUOTE(Travis Neff @ Nov 12 2004, 10:24 AM) Twas' Hi_Fi_Guy who had his car done at Patrick Motorsports. Wow Dipshit, 172 hours! In labor alone, then paint and materials costs - egads! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) $50 per hour $ 8,600.00 $75 per hour $12,900.00 (PMS Rate, I think) $100 per hour $17,200.00 you got to keep in mind that a professional shop can probably do the same work as the DIY'er in 1/4 the time. having the right tools, space, no distractions, etc all cut huge amounts of time. take a look at the two 914-6 restos going on by the UT shop, threads by Gint and Eric_Shea. that place produces really fast high quality work. |
