Have you checked out any local auto repair shops or vocational schools in your area? They might offer courses or apprenticeships in Paintless Dent Removal (PDR). Additionally, online platforms like YouTube and Udemy often have tutorials and courses available for learning PDR techniques. If you're willing to travel, you could also look into specialized workshops or training centers that offer comprehensive PDR training programs. Good luck on your journey to mastering PDR!
Let's say you're charging $250 per vehicle. I might give a random customer a package price of $675 for doing three similar cars if all three are paid for and scheduled at the same time.
I would offer a $25 discount to small time car dealers for single units if they pay when they pick it up. No discount if I have to wait 30 days.
For fleet and preloading inventory the numbers can vary depending on factors like, is it labor only, do they have a good space on site, overall volume, 30-45-60 day net, etc.
Start charging for what you can do reliably and stand behind your final product. Also get whatever is the going market rate for your area. Discount nothing except multi car and fleet volume with a signed work order. MTRX has a good scheduling and billing app, expensive, but good.
Careful on the windshields, they can cost you a fortune if something inside the dash decides to stop working. Most customers are too arrogant to believe that water and electronics are a bad mix...because they "never had that happen before" and they always "know a guy".
Check out the thread "peanut killer" for defrost tacking.
Congrats on sharpening a new skill set.
If you look at your 1st photo, u can see the XR Black and CS Black are both charcoal when compared to the XR Plus. It still might have hint of blue but not very noticeable. Same way F1 Pinnacle has a hint of green the last time I checked which you did not notice. CS is a basic dyed film, heat rejection is minor.
