I work in a bodyshop and 5k sounds about right. Remenber what kind of car you have which it shoudnt make a difference but it does!!! what labor rate is it? we are 40 dollars an hour in va so lets say your estiment says the bodyman gets between 40-80 hours to take the car apart,do the bodywork,and put the car back together,plus all new emblems (your going to need them) and your painter 50-80 hours to paint ,plus paint materials ?? 40x60=2400.00 bodyman, 40x50=2000.00 painter,and materials 500.00
