im a panel beater painter. i painted my side skirts up.

they need 2 coats of 2k primer, 1000 wet flat between each coat, then colour and laquer

if i was doing that job on the side out of work id prob charge £135 ish depending if they need much prep work

£20 primer
£10 sanding discs etc
£35 paint, thats 3 10ths of a liter or 300ml
£20 laquer and hardner

so id pocket £50 for my time
