I know it sounds like a personal question but there should be a standard on how much installers make. I've seen in-experienced installers make too much and experienced installers not make enough. Please no flaming as this post is to help other see how much they should be making. (I do post on this forum on another account so I'm not a noob, but do not want my work to see that I am posting this since they do regularly visit this site).

Please list your answers in this form, feel free to omit any question and post any comments you have:

i was wondering how many people usually work on a vehicle..curious because if u install for a company as apposed to a home buisiness the amount varies as there would be the workers, the shop and the materials to pay for.

I have a 25' x 50' shop going up with a paint booth inside going up at my buddies place (he has a full time job already and i have part time so he wont be there as often) and i dont have huge expenses...its pretty much my pay and his plus x amount to pay for the shop and electricity and materials. is it wiser to incorperate the cost of materials and fees into the hourly rate or to charge it seperately.
