Interior Painting, How much $ ? Options

[subsolo_21]

I've painted the interiors of several cars now. 2 of my own and several for my friends, but I've never charged for it. Now random people want me to paint their interiors for them. There is no way I'm doin all that work for free for ppl i dont really know. What do you guys think would be a decent price to charge. I was thinking about starting around $125 to sand and paint all the plastic trim pieces and clearcoat them. Is that too much?...too low? I have no idea.

Thanx for the input,

Figure out how many hours it takes you to do it, multiply by a decent hourly rate (say double the minimum wage, unless you're in an area with a really high min) and add the cost of any materials. Tada, labour plus parts = cost. Remind them they're not paying taxes -- unless you're expecting to do enough business the government might get interested.
