Just been quoted £1100 for a white two pack paintjob full car inside and out. Said it was 24 hours labour (& £15.00 hour) plus materials and vat. I know they do good paint jobs cos I know cars that mates had done before by the bloke. Is this a reasonable price?

Why do we pay others to do a job we did ourselves?
Ever paid for conveyancing?

Good price if its a good paint job -
agreed, good price if they are good at their work

A good paint job will take alot longer and even the materials will cost £500 . You need a day just for flat and polishing and that's the easy bit .

If you use top quality paint and materials then there ain't a lot left out of £1100 for the labour !
I must have gone through 200+ 'DA' pads on Louies car
Then there's filler,stone chip, etch primer, filler primer, top coat, activator, thinners, mixing cups, gun cleaner thinners, filters, masks, spray suits, compound, compounding heads, wet & dry, and wax !
The hard work is in the prep - get the primer right and the top coat is relatively easy
