[Spridgets] Paint shop fiasco

[Dave KK7SS]

Current quotes for paint jobs around here is around $400 per panel!

My Oldest son works as a painter in a body shop.
He's offered to do a paint job on my Minor when I'm ready.
We'll do the prep work at home, and then he'll do the painr job for the cost of the materials - which will be at the shops'cost -- about $750.
 That doesn't include the cost of using the paint booth which we'll be using over a few weekends and which we hope to get for a discount!.

So, with labour around $50/hour (at least) $1000 would not go far enough towards a decent job!

Now that someone else has spoken the words I dint want to voice I will chime
in.  As Lester states $1000 for body work and paint is nothing.   Using the cheapest products out there, there isn't 500.00 labour left in the 1k price quoted.
