I’ve just been quoted $850 to prep and paint a bare plastic bumper. No R&R, just take the bumper, paint it to match and give it back.
Expensive? Would have thought from $500-$650. I’m open to suggestions my wallet is out of calibration. |

We quote roughly a grand to paint a panel, but that includes strip and blend in most cases.
Once you add up materials time and labour your at $500, plus to do a 1 off job takes from the real money jobs, booth time is the same for 1 panel as it would be for a full side, so a profit of $350 out of it is pretty much in the ball park, especially if they guarantee their work. |
