if you were serious you would take it to a shop to get an estimate.trying to get one on line or over the phone is a bad way to do buisness.on average though it would be 4-6 hours per panel @38.00 an hour and 19.00 an hour for materials + tax. so look in a ballpark of 4 grand.

4-6 hours per panel? what can you do it those 4-6 hours? have you ever torn down a Viper? or were you planning to shoot the whole car and just tape up the glass?

I'd have 4-6 hours on each panel just colorsanding and buffing,but that's just me

yep, just refinish time.thats why I don't like spiting out a price off the top of my head.BUT if you go by the going rate around here for refinish time that's what you get.R&I plus wet sanding/rub detail and it would be considerably more.
so yes you are correct,let me adjust the price .25K! it depends on what the customer wants and how much they can afford.
