Having worked in the industry for a few years now, I along with an experienced sprayer have decided to make the move, to starting a joint bodyshop. Set up with a professional Lutro oven with clean room, aswell as a kitted out prep area, we want to focus mainly on classic cars and more specialised vehicles. Not surprisingly, there’s not many companies that are willing to hand over their hourly rates to potential competitors. I’m just trying to get a feel for an average rate that a bodyshop would charge per hour.
