    What should I look for in a repair/repaint?

    Help with pricing out a detail

    No rudeness, $15/per hr is very low. 8 Hours of hard work on a Black F350 will only pay you $120.00. Minus your Products/Gas/Food/Ect. You will only make $100 if you dont use allot of product. Goodluck :autowash:
