what will you guys say is a decent price to ask a guy to repair all dents, prime, flat and paint a small bantam bakkie for a guy?
this is a complete sprayjob, the bakkie is already completely stripped, just needs to get aal the dents out,, prime and flat it and paint it.
what price shall i ask?

Re: what price shall i ask?
i was think of R6000 as the body does not have big dent is but each pannel has about 50 small dents in, the owner also want me to go down to the metal as it has about 8 difrent layers of paint on.
