Your estimate for paint! £150... how do you arrive at that figure! we are talking cars with approx 11 painted surfaces, that works out at just under £14 per panel, let alone painting the door shuts! and you've not even included Sanding disks, filler, scotchbright, 3-4 rolls of masking tape, masking paper, etch primer, spirit wipe, tack rags, stonechip coating, wetndry, polish, heat and electricity anticorrosion treatment...
that's roughly the cost of paint, not a paint-job, all the other stuff you have mentioned, i would put down as consumables, i mean, you can't invoice sum1 for the 12 D,A pads you used on their car, all in your looking at a price of around £90 per panel, the quotes i gave for a full paint £800, doesn't include doorshuts and is an opening introductory offer, as we are a new business, so it's to drag the trade in and get the word spread.......
