thinking about buying a CF hood and clear coating it for protection, discoloration. I got quoted $150-200 and sounds a bit steep, what do you guys think? is this reasonable? doesn't seem like it'll be too difficult, since there's no color matching involved or anything..

 

i just got a quote for 50$. It was a friend of a friend so I got it cheap

 

man, that would work for me, but I wouldn't want to low ball too much.. I want them to do a good job.

 

That's about right. All the labor is in prep. Plus clear is high.

 

Man---You have to relize that things are never just THAT simple. Wet sanding the CF so you get a good bite, mixing the clear ( Hardner,Thinner ) Into the booth, Spray time, Dry time, Buff time, Cleaning the Gun. It all adds up. Some prices are a rip, but 150-200 is not bad

 

Fortunatly, I do my own painting because Im picky and cheap

 

Not to mention the entire hood must be sanded. Then you clear the bottom side. Let it cure up for atleast a day. Flip it over and resand the top. Then clear the top. Let it cure up a day. Wetsand and buff.

 

150-200 is a good price

 

Todays clears and the activators it requires are very pricey. Yes that is a good price.
