Paint:

We estimate ALL paint jobs to start around 294 hours of labor from start to finish, and are priced starting at $30,000. If your vehicle comes in with minimal body damage done to it, that should be more of an accurate estimate. If your vehicle needs more TLC, then the time dedicated to get your vehicle in top shape that will increase as well. We also highly recommend to have the car sandblasted as it uncovers hidden damages.  Overall price will increase to reflect the amount of hours put into restoring your vehicle. So an average paint job ranges from $30,000 - $50,000

Labor: Estimated at 294 hours, at $98 per hour, is $28,812 ***Ultimately we bill hour for hour so you pay for only the actual time, parts, and materials it takes to complete the project***

How much bodywork is needed to get your vehicle to paint, fluctuates from car to car. Meaning the total amount of hours to complete the job varies the most in this area. So for example, if it will take us longer than the estimated time of 8 hours to to fix a door, it would be in your best interest to just purchase another door before we start fixing one that would ultimately take longer than 8 hours to fix. That way you’re not paying more money than what is necessary to fix something.
