what price shall i ask?

Post by SUZIE »

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.

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.

Zero-Axe, it is my nabour, I take a 30% upfront, 30% on completion of prep and the last 40% on completed spray job.

If he does not pay he can take his car with no hassle out of my garage, just remember i work at a lab and have you seen what does H2So4 does to a cars painting?
