Just the garnish, I need the clear coat sprayed as it turned out like orange peel, the colour matched up quite well though

2000 wet the whole thing till its totally flat being careful not to rub through the clear and hand it to a panel shop.
they will just clear it with the next job.
if they want more than $50 walk away

$150 thats not too bad whats clear cost? an hours wages whats a worker cost an employer an hour?
ok Im not a spray painter but panel shops still have overheads and its not about what you can do the job for its about how much the customer will pay you to do the job.Know plenty of good tradesmen that ended up owing money after trying to have their own Business, quote every job on its merit ,price it as a fill in job and you will lose money.
let them bend you over once and they'll do it every time.
If they 2nd guess your first price add 20 % and send it back.
