    What is the average fee to paint new stuff like door handles, trim pieces, mirrors, mudflaps and the like?

    well it varies some but the estimating system put’s door handles and mirrors at .4

    just did 2 door handles and a mirror by the book and it was a no profit deal

    .4+.4+.4=1.2×110 .. $132.00 includes material :unsure: :S

    I think it should be more and could easily get it :whistle:

    That’s only 45 a piece. A dealership told a friend it was 100 to do a white door handle. I usually charge 60-80. They are willing to pay the extra because I can do it in a day or so and most bodyshops will take a couple of weeks. I worked out a barter to have my wifes fuel system flushed for a couple of trims.

    Throw the book out.

    Thank you Mr. Stone

    mud flaps are different though as well because they come with a textured finish and need to be sanded down and primed nd then sanded down. I know they would require more work esp. since i just got down doing some 😉

    Not all flaps are textured. That’s up to you to tell the customer what to purchase. If they get something different then be sure to increase the charge.

    $75/hr….. and I usually end up billing out for about 1/2 of my time spent….
