Default What is a fair price....

Here's the problem, my PARENTS' garage has a b6, an E55 and an S-class in it. Such fine automobiles don't deserve the crappy concrete of the garage floor but rather some type of "finished" floor. My parents were going to pay some "professional" to come to our house to do it, but (in desperate need of mod money) I insisted on doing it. SOoooooooo I bought Epoxy garage coating today, and I'm having a hard time coming up with fair labor charge. Any opinions??? Its a three car garage BTW. Here's a pic of the crappy floor: <img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/73394/img_0207.jpg">

Default can I be your parents' son for a month?

Seriously, that painting shi! is hard work...I believe you have to clean and possibly 'etch' the floor to make the paint stick to it properly...anyhow, since their you're parents, I'd charge 'em $500 all included...

Nice E55...thinking about getting an E55 AMG (break the bank!) or the new C55 AMG myself...or maybe save $25,000 and get an STi and turn it into a 350whp 'ricer'...

Default maybe you should just charge hourly...like 15 an hour or 10 an hour.

I assume it'll be under the table....so that's good. plus it'll take you at least half again as long as a pro.
