Looks nice? What does something like that cost?

 

[Williampinball]

It only cost $400 for the recleared then 30 too ship it there really good if you ask me and worth it also

Did he touch up anything or just clear? $200 per sounds like a great price.

 

[Williampinball]

Just recleared but he does a A1 job

What clearcoat does he use? Did he tell you or did you ask for something specific. 200 per pf sounds good.

 

[Williampinball]

No it's 400 each PF

If I was selling this service $400 is about what I would charge for a clearcoat. That's based on 3-4 coats (sanding/prep in between) and no touch-ups. The average pf is getting roughly $50-$75 worth of materials alone (2-part auto clear, reducer, sandpaper and other consumables). Tack on about 5-7 hrs of labour and you're roughly at $50-$70/hr. For a skilled service on a freelance basis that sounds about right.
I was charging a bit less when I was just learning, but I think most guys who do decent work are at this rate or higher.

Hmmm.... now I'm wondering if I got the "beginning" price from Drano when he did my C37 lol...
it sure was worth it - looks purdy!

Juebus Christ, if it costs $400 to CC a PF now, guess I'm not getting any more of my PF's CC ....

With all the correction and airbrushing I did, I think you got the "I got incriminating pictures of you" rate

But, considering the sweet El Dorado I got in the deal I can't complain.
Hope you're finally enjoying the C37!

Here are some better pics:
