If you offer the painter more money, will he move you up in the queue?

That is most illegal Patrickt! Now, if the gentleman above, would happen to put down a briefcase on a park bench, and the painter would put an identical briefcase next to it, then latter pick up the first briefcase, that just happens to weigh more, well, who would be the wiser? Wink, wink, nudge nudge, know what I mean? Cheers, Dennis

838 was 1 week short of 3 years. That seems to be pretty typical.

How long did the painter take? It's a skill, but not rocket science.

Patrickt, how much do you think I should offer him? What's the normal rate for an ERA one color no strips paint job today. I'm an old guy who paid $3000 for one on my ERA 407 back in 1994. I'm a bit out of touch.

I remember my costs from twenty years ago so I would guess that a top end body and paint job is going to be $15k to $20k now, perhaps more IDK. That said, I would probably offer the guy a $5k bonus for "rush treatment."
