Subject:Paint job Prices

The price of a paint job depends on how long you want it to last.
The cheaper the price, the lower quality you get.
I paint semi trucks for a living and the price fluctuates with the
quality of paint and preparation the customer wants,($18.00 per gal. vs
$200.00 per gal)
Also surface prep is an large expense. Do you want the old paint
stripped or just scuffed and shot?
Do you want a two part self etching surface-primer to hold down
imperfections, or lacquer primed, and painted?
There are so many variables,its hard to quote a paint job, without
knowing exactly what you really want.
