How much do you think yer time is worth? Go ask somebody at a garage or body shop how much they charge for repairs. Remember, they have to charge a lot, to cover: Insurance, labor, security, and a lot more. If you are working at home, and intend to spend all day on it, (8Hrs. a day) you have to figure in electric, heat, insurance, the wife being ignored all day if yer retired! Keep track of yer time! Then there's materials: Grinding discs, sandpaper, paint and primers, metal treatment stuff, and others. Of course, you include that stuff in the bill. i'm assuming you have the compressor, grinders, sand blaster, etc? so, i've found, the best way is to give an estimate, or just tell the owner:"I'll do it for this much,." With the option of charging more if you find more troubles! That way, if the guy is looking for a cheap job, he'll either take yer offer, or go somewhere else, at which point you'd be better off! RJ
