Guys travel around to cart lots and do them for 15 -20 bucks. A body shop maybe 30 -50. A man that knows what he's doing can put them one in 5 minutes.

I did them for the Suzuki dealer for $20 per car. If they got 50 cars in I would do them all in 4 or 5 hrs. These were new cars that had to have the little S's put into the stripe and all. So they took a little more time than a basic pinstripe

Start on your truck; then use it to advertise your work.

Those were the good days, the bad party was they only got about one shipment a month. I spent the rest of my time wet sanding and buffing scratches, touching up chips and painting bumpers,doors........ I grossed between 7-10 k a month and made 60% of that. I was a contract employee so I paid my own insurance, taxes etc. Ended up being about a 45 to 50k a year job
