More CNC machines will make you the money to buy new cars. New cars will not make you the money to buy CNC machines.

They're right. This is an EASY install compared to the mustangs. The stripes are very good quality, are well marked and packaged, and install nicely with rapidtak. I've done about 15 of these for the local dealership. I told them I'd charge just labor rate at $50/hr and any travel. Usually takes me about an hour and works out to about $65 a car. I thought that was fair enough, then I heard that they can't find anyone to do them for less than $400 per car in the southern part of the state. So, guess what...they're sending ALL of them up for me to install. This was one of those OH CRAP moments when you realize you should have charged more. Wonder what they'd say if I up my rate to $200/HR?

i have been working with two dealerships on these decals and the dealers have been issued a labor rate from GM on what kind of time it would take to install the factory stripes. i am making out like a bandit on the hockey stripe install because they take less time and pay 20% more for the installation. the racing stipes are managable, but still a bit tricky on the hoods. i am being paid as if i were doing warranty work for the dealerships and still making good money for the installs.
