The kind of investigation to be conducted (which, for example, can be based on the level of a security clearance needed) will depend on the reason for the investigation. Different kinds of background investigations have different requirements for the scope of the investigative coverage to be obtained.
Instead of trying to measure every inch of masking tape used and every ounce of paint sprayed, auto-body shops charge a flat rate for materials. At a rate of $45 per hour on average, paint materials also contribute to the rising car bumper repair costs.
What is the average cost per hour to perform body work, average cost of materials, and average cost per hour to prep and paint a car? Question answered by Mark Clark, former PBE jobber store owner and 24-year contributor to BodyShop Business. I believe by average cost per hour you mean door rate. I operate on the assumption that the average door rate across the country is between $42 and $44 per hour. The average cost for material might look like this: at $43 per hour, the typical RO would be $1,650. If paint and material on the estimate was around 10 percent, the answer is $165.
