I'm right there with this quote. This is a good size collection and without seeing them, you do not know what you are getting into. I think I can speak for Todd here in that in my mind, if he is talking correction and coating, this customer wants the vehicles as perfect as possible. That will take you a great deal of time.
The bikes will also take you longer than you anticipate.

If that is where you guys are at price wise, then I am happy with my 8k estimate. I don't have the experience you guys have and I am still getting my name out there. I don't mean to say that I am not capable of delivering very high quality work, just that I am still getting started. The owner is involved with car clubs so there is the potential for a lot of business.

I work 4 10's so I have 3 day weekends every week. I am planning for a month of weekends at an optimistic minimum to get all the work done.

I was planning on using the DP paint coating, but noticed that Blackfire has one available now. I will be reading up on that to see how it compares and whether or not I will change my mind and go with that one.

Thanks again for the insight and suggestions!!!

Well, the guy is holding off on doing the cars now as he is building out a '69 Camaro and just dropped close to $100k on the car and race engine and various parts. It is still a possibility for a little later in the year so hopefully he still wants everything done then. Oh well...

Let that door close ever so softly. Open it back up once in a while to see where he's at on getting them done. Try to get him to have the worst one done in the meantime so he has something in which to gauge the quality of your offering with.

Good luck!!

Doing exactly this. Still waiting to hear back, but trying to have him get one car done so I can show him the quality he can expect from me.
