You said the key word "in this part of the country". I've been in the bodyshop business just shy of 30 years and in the last 15 years, I have never gotten paid less than 4500 for an all over. (no color change... that's 1000-1500 more)
Doing a color change on an H2 on top of it?? No way I'd touch that for under $10K. Last year I painted 2 H2's, one job was $9500 for an all over and the other was $11K.
No one said that you weren't doing it right for under $10K but if you are, you're either in a economically depressed part of the country or you're not charging enough.
Either way suits me, I'll paint them all day long for $10K.
