I know this has been asked many times, and it is a subjective question - but here goes
I am stripping down my car for paint, removing decklids, engine tranny, bumpers, seals, lights, pulling wiring back and initially taking down the first layer of paint. The car is fairly straight. How much labor hours in a guesstimate would it take for paint? painting trunks, jambs, maybe engine compartment in the same, stock light ivory color. And a guesstimate in color sanding as well. |

Take a look at my thread "The Great Pumpkin". I ended up with about 4 hours of welding time, 160 hours of prep time (parts off, stripping, sanding, etc), 12 hours of bondo, blocking, wiping and tacking.
The actual painting was accomplished in less than 3 hours. |
