What Should a Paint Job Cost?

[jbr7723]

So would you agree the hours are what is totally out of whack then? In general how many hours would it take you to paint, and then how many for final assembly? Please PM me directly with just the hours if you dont feel comfortable posting on the board. I greatly value your opinion on this matter, and it will help me decide what to do, and at least give me piece of mind evn if I do just cough it up.

With all the math errors, I'm hoping this is a clerical issue in their office as it does look like they overbilled for 60 hours that I can see, at least that saves $3k, but that is probably wishful thinking, my gut says they are trying to see if they can get away with it.

If it is on purpose, I dont know if it is a laborer billing the project week after week with out making much progress, or billing my project while working on others, could be the office/owner over billing, or if it really did just take that long because they ran into issues. You would think they would be giving updates, including numbers and hours, and progress reports.

The car is in MN. I'm wondering what keeps places legally to their bids? How much can they legally move from that number without additional approval?
