Good feedback guys. I only picked 80 hours as an example. I understand that every job is different and the hours could vary considerably once you get into it and really see what you have.
This is one industry I really do not know much about the business side of so I am just more curious than anything.
Are their jobs you guys would do for "X" amount of dollars even if you went a wee bit upside down on it if the car was going to build more business? Like a rare vehicle or well known one that may be a magazine feature or something? A job where you could say "I did not make the margin I wanted on this, but I am getting good return on the free advertising"? Or do those jobs not really exist where it would be worth it.
By the way Kevin, you owe us some pics of the cool blue Alfa...
I have decided I don't have the time and more importantly the skills yet to paint my car and am going to send it out. I am glad to hear you guys would not mind seeing it stripped when it showed up. I will be pulling the lights, bumpers, hood, tail, trim and all the glass prior to dropping it off.
Thanks for the insight.
Cheers
