rule #1 don't rush the painter!i seam to cut some people slack on pricing but it's becoming a problem/for the price i had charged you may think they would take it in to consideration not to hound the hell out of you in there own little ways.it's funny how there just project cars that have been sitting around but the day they get brought to me they gotta get it right back so they can sit around for another year while being finished.and there's the one who likes to make up his own price on how much i charge them to do there car not! don't get me wrong i really don't mind painting cars the work i enjoy for the most part like to see them done all purdy.i guess if you want quick service you will have to pay the BIG $$ most shop owners i know won't even paint an allover but if they do i know they start at around $2,000 and can climp high as $10,000 . and can have the car for up to a year before completion i know if i drop of an engine to be built, i don't expect to see it back for a month or so and thats just a engine build.an all over paint job (done correctly) is a whole lot more work.and the price of materials is just so damn high you can spend up to $500 in just materials to paint a car .just venting hoping to school a few people who are new to the paint job thang.and letting you know the inside scoupe of whats involved...........mark this isn't about you see ya sunday
