: What's the going body shop rate? Brimaster Oct 13th, 01, 5:55 AM Just wondering what the going rate is to spray a car. I am going to get my Sprint done and what some ideas before I start getting estimates. It will need some hood, lower fender, Driver's door, Driver's Quarter and bed repair as well as a new paint job. Any ideas and thoughts are welcome. Thanks mr409 Oct 13th, 01, 1:07 PM They will vary. One place near me charges $38 per hour. That's probably considered cheap to some. ------------------ Bob (Pa.) 1963 Impala 283 1966 Chevelle SS 409 1969 Malibu 307 1972 Malibu 307 1969 C10 stepside 350 1971 Cheyenne 20 3/4 ton Looking for Chevelle or Impala parts?

I think the body is the lower.. but I also think he just upped his rates.. ------------------ X-Ray View of my Chevelle :D (http://www.normieschevelle.com/sideview.jpg) Getting Closer (http://www.normieschevelle.com/passfull.jpg) WayneK Oct 14th, 01, 6:38 AM Locally E. PA. it's $38.00 frame rack $36.00 body work This if for Crash work. The rate for rust and restoration is unusually higher and at a Time-Materials base. Wayne Sid Coleman Oct 14th, 01, 1:57 PM Brian, if you're going to do the body work yourself, and just have the guy spray it, expect around $350-$400 + maybe a little extra for prep/materials. My cousin had one of his painters spray my car-guy only wanted $250 to spray it, and did one heck of a job! ------------------ 71 Ragtop, finally under reconstruction!
