Well I would almost bet that your customer would have been just as happy with a $300 bill, you're pocketbook would be happier with the extra Hundred and you would be keeping your price in line with the value of your work.

Just one mans opinion.

It took me 9 hours and i think 1 hour for taking pictures. And the owner ask me to wax the door jams and dress all the trim and polish the rims another 2 hours.

Wow 9 hours. Wait time is okay , Wow 200 dollars, that's it?!? I am speechless. Nonetheless, once again amazing job. You could have easily got 500 if not more.

Great job but I have to agree your price is a little low. If you try to make $25 per hour like a lot of guys on the forum, you should have hit $250 for labor and probably $50 for supplies, water and electricity. When I finally break down and get a business license and start charging, I plan to ask about $300 for a service like that. But, like you, I enjoy it and enjoy seeing people happy with their cars.
