Yeah you definately dont make any money on high end jobs unless you charge a lot for it. $50 an hour would probably put this car in the 13-14K range with all the small stuff we painted with it. When I post the completed pics youll understand

oh no, I understand... my painter charges high teens and into the 20's if rust repair, body damage is needed for a job such as this one
