Shortest progress thread ever. Take a guess at what it shold cost to fix.

[Darren]

I'll give 10,000 points to the 1st to who ever guesses right. Hint, it's neighbor friend. So guess low. Edit. Bulldog guessed it. :mick:
Just got it today. After about 45 minutes of metal working, its ready for some shrinking and then the filler work. Piece of cake. Should be done in 3 days I love the quick stuff. :pianodan

[03SVTvenom]

guess I'd say about 500$..:D

[Darren]

Nope, but let me re phrase. What is it costing them. It should cost about $700. 500 is a good guess

[03SVTvenom]

Been working in the body shop for almost 10 yrs (parts, estimator). Did'nt know to go w/ 500 or 600. Thats because its a friend of a friend.:)

Not 600 either. Didn't know you were an estimator. Good ones can make a shop. Bad ones can....well, I'll be nice :lol: Im sure you know the supliment routine. Man I hated that crap. Why not just take a real good look at it from the start. Do a good tear down and go over the whole repair. Small shit will get over looked, but not something like a bent core support. I find it nearly inpossible to do a good estimate without doing a tear down of some sort, most of the time. On harder hits than this anyway

Lets see ..

$60 for a Pint of Paint

$60 for some Clear

Labor for painting at $50/hr, $150

Labor for teardown, reassembly and prepping @ $50/hr, $250

Total Regular Cost = $520


Price for a friend = $350

[CopperPony]

I love it when someone does that on the show. You can see the 1st bidder just bitting thier lip in an effort not to choke the crap outta the guy.

[Bulldog Stang]

yup .... now I am biting mine .... unless it is $349 or less ... hahaha

:nervous: get out of my shop. :rotfl:
Ding ding
10,000 your way :mick:

[Darren]

I thought about raising the price by $5 to make it harder to guess. :rotfl:
350 is a pretty round #. so, it wasnt 351 or 349 and Brian is from 62000+ points to 72000+ :mick:

Imma kneelin man :bowdown:
Dunno how the hell you guessed with no labor to repair time. But 150 to tear down? :rotfl: Lucky bitch :lmao:

[Bulldog Stang]

I figured that you would take a hit on the labor side of it ... but I knew that you would charge cost for the paint/clear and compounds ... $170 dont hurt that bad, considering you still walk away with about $150 - 200 in your pocket for an "easy" job...

[Bulldog Stang]

labor for teardown AND reassembly was $250

I'll fix it above ..

[Bulldog Stang]

So if I come to work for you and become your estimator, would I get to keep the extra $170 ???? LMAO!!!!

[Darren]

Actually the base and clear both will only be about $60, maye $80. I'll get a pint of base and probably have 1/2 leftover. It's the time it takes to do it. I'll spend alot of time watching things cure...kinda like watching grass grow :lol:

[Darren]

Teardown and assembly is merely losening the bumper cover and taking out the tail light. I'll do that for .5 hours lol
I got 4-5 hours filler work to do yet, and watch primer cure for 3 hours
And I dont charge 50 an hour. Insurance dont even pay that much.
As I said, lucky guess. :P :lmao:

[Bulldog Stang]

325.00

Hey D .. Should I lock it down ????

[Darren]

Hey D .. Should I lock it down ????
Nah. Its a progress thread. just thought Id give away 10k as a bonus to some lucky f**k :rotfl:
I'll post more pics after its primed, and then the final paint.

[Bulldog Stang]

You need to go to Vegas. :lol:

hahaha ... well i was figuring about what I would charge to a friend if I was in that business .... Labor is always the most expensive part of any job when it comes to painting ... so i knew that is where you would take your hit ... and I guess i can admit it ... i was kinda lucky ... :mick:

[Darren]

couple more days.
