Sitting on that bench in paint at retail has to be in the $4,000-$5,000 range. And that isn't even including the other things it takes to do one. Sandpaper,tape,paper,plastic etc.
Some people just don't understand why it costs so much to paint a car. But when you wrap up 5-6 grand up in materials it really adds up on top the the hundreds of hours it takes to get the car into final paint.

Jeff I go through this everyday most people have no idea what this stuff cost! I don't do complete paint work anymore for that reason. There is a little over $4500.00 retail sitting on Pauls counter. When you tell people a ''GOOD'' repaint starts at 8-9 thousand they look at you like your crazy then I get '' I can get it way cheaper at MACCO why are you so much?'' I use to explain but I don't even bother anymore!
