[Hallicrafters] Wrinkle Paint

[Carl]

Maybe 20-25% of the time a customer will have me do the complete refinish 
which isnt cheap as its quite time consuming on some sets especially when I 
have to get the hammer and dolly out, plug holes, reweld hinges, etc.

With some sets I may have enough paint on hand do another, other times I'll 
have to get another gallon custom mixed at the auto paint store...that stuff 
aint cheap no mo!

Depends how good the sand blaster is, Roger. I've seen some badly
warped metal from someone spending a bit too much time in/on one area.

But overall, I'd think at least $100-$150 including materials would
seem fair. Considering they'd be getting basically a new cabinet back,
it's probably cheap. But you did specify hams. Notoriously cheap
unless they're selling it, then it's priceless. Generally-speaking, of
course. (o:

I'd guess you could clean off a cabinet in a half hour or less pretty
easily. It's when you get into filling holes and straightening bends
and dents that you can start to eat up time.
