One of the best jobs I've seen done. Tell Eddie to get his butt down to Hawaii and work on both my garage queens!

Incredible! Way too much work for me though. How much did that entire process cost?

It was a lot of work, and far more then expected! I originally planned for about 25 hours of total work, maybe a little more, but the entire service ended up at about 70 hours or work. I quoted the client for 30 hours of work originally (hoping to slide under that number and suprise him). Since I never break a quote and absolutely refuse to jack my quote up (I hate giving quotes!) I will say that the work done represented a great value!

Thank's C5. The total cost was not as bad as some may imagine, because on car's with far less finicky paint it should have been completed in less time. Eddy got carried away on the blower (I don't blame him) and the paint took at least twice as long as expected.

Normally detailing in this range would cost between 2-3k (which is were the final bill was) but would have been over 5k if I stuck to the hourly rate.

Thanks Steve! In this case it was just a matter of time (and a lot of it!)
