hey guys ive been painting for over 3 years for a company and i was just a worker. well now im going to start painting stuff for freinds and people around here. what is the average cost of labor and a whole paint job on a bike? i ask $20 a hour that bad?

 

every state differs,but around here i charge 500 to 600 depending on the color

 

I paint at a shop charge 20 bucks an hour on side jobs...for bikes 500 for one color little more for two tone and what not with no body work I hate body work so leave that up to my buddy to charge what he wants I just love to paint!!!

 

yea that is what i was thinkin 20 a hour is good not much work if there isnt any body work. just a sand down and prep

 

Cheap for just prep and spray, which shouldn't take too long... Look what shops charge hourly for the same thing....

 

We charge 42 to 46 dollars an hour for paint and body at the shop

 

i charge from $500 -$1000 per bike. min of $500. after materials and labor. $500 is dirt cheap.
