: Oh Boy!! That is a loaded question!

: $200.00 is not a bad price with materials and time taken into account. The
: fact that you are very happy with the job means you definitely got good
: value. If you do another one go back to this same guy because he will have
: the experience and know what to expect. Usually, the first time anyone
: does something they are nervous and the price may go up accordingly. You
: may get an even better deal now that he knows it is far easier than
: spraying a car.

: I just did a friends boat, It took 1/2 gallon of clear, 1 quart of hardener
: and 1 quart of reducer.

: I charged him ....NOTHING!!! Of course he is a good friend and I had all he
: materials on hand. {:o)

: Ian

Another loaded question - what'll you charge a stranger?
