I was just after some views on the following to see if my expectations
are wrong.
I am/was going to get the datsun 1600 painted, however a guy came round
today to have a look and quoted me around $10,000
$1000 for bead
blasting:
engine bay
bonnet - top and bottom
boot lid - top and
bottom
outside of car
door jambs
does not include inside car or
inside boot
$3000 for materials incl paint, bog and whatever materials
there are??
$3000 for panel beating
$3000 for painting in 2pak, etch
primer, undercoat, 2 coats or colour, 2 coats of clear
This car
is one of the better 1600s I have seen and this guy said there would be
minimal work with regards to bog and rust, he said she was pretty good, the
same opinion of about 4 other panels beaters who have looked at
her.
at $30 an hour, which is what they say they get, that is 100
hours for painting and another 100 hours for panel beating. If they worked 8
straight hours a day from 0800 to 1600 with one hour for lunch they are taking
12-13 days to paint it and ! ! another 13 days to panel beat it. As I said
this car is very straight and has minimal bog as is.
Does this
sound right or am i right in thinking it is alot. Don't get me wrong, the guy
had a look and was here for an hour or so. He went into depth talking about
getting the lines right, getting the doors lined up etc and tidying up the
engine bay by getting rid of uneeded holes and bits etc
I am sure it would
be a good job and done right etc
What do you think?
I have heard about guys rolling in there cars to get pearl show car jobs
done and being charged this much which would include stripping the parts from
the car too. Mine is a vare shell, no work involved there.
Maybe people Like Pete N or Ray Longmire or even Barry at Datsport might
have an opinion as you guys seem to have done the whole hog on restoring your
1600s
