I'm more interested in a good job than a cheap one. (sorry, didn't mean to imply there's anything wrong with the above job - it looks awesome!) It is awesome just comparing pricing .

Will keep that in mind. Currently getting quotes to respray my replica Mercedes 190E EVOII. $7.5k for an "inside and out" respray. Excluding engine bay. Will remove all body kit, sand back current bog and redo with spray on bondo. repray all trims individually and reassemble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atlas is getting a lot of good press amongst Sydney owners! It's taken way longer than planned, through no fault of Pierre and the boys at Atlas. There was more to do than first thought in terms of body prep, and the interior work (being done elsewhere) is dragging the chain massively. So big thumbs up for Atlas from me! 👍 edgy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My car was around $20k just to repair and paint one side when I stacked it last year. Bodywork was completed within a few days by some highly skilled Porsche repairers who are probably on at least $100/hour, so I imagine the painter did pretty well out of it. Chris above is right. Quality takes time and skills you and I probably don't have to produce a quality job...unles you're Chris or Jeff of course 😁 I quoted someone to install a big kitchen yesterday, and he questioned why it's so expensive. $50 per hour for 2 people ($25each) using skills and tools he doesn't possess is expensive? What hourly rate does he pay to have his new Mercedes serviced? You get my drift. Im thinking Lee you should consider working month on month off out of Sydney Eastern suburbs... you would be able to charge at least $75 per hour per person and still be considered reasonable firstone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
