Keep in mind this paint is expensive in the first place. This is the paint manufacturer that "monster garage" and quality show car finishes use. This color is hot!

remove all the interior(door panels, plastic),take off the doors, scuff the door jamb to where its completely dull, do the trunk and under hood as well with a 3m grey scuff pad that you will need to get from the paint shop, take out the headlights, tailights, if you have a spoiler get that off, remove bumpers and turn signals, side view mirrors(take them apart),remove brackets and plastic that you dont want painted, but youd have to get a tow truck so that would add back some of the cost, i dont let people prep the outside of the car cause i like to make sure i do it and its done the way i like it but doing the door jambs is pretty much self explanatory,either remove door stickers and labels or tape them off,and im assuming you cant do bodywork so thats about it.....

Okay, so what I am asking is, how much would your labour cost be after I did this?
