Infinity custom back doors, did I charge enough?


Recommended Posts

This was my first custom fiberglass customer. He didn't really care what the doors looked like, just wanted them flush and not stick out as much. And they will be wrapped, so that automatically made me relax, knowing if I couldn't fix the finish, the Suede would.

Started with the flush rings, epoxied on both sides of panel. Then short strand bodyfiller on both sides, then building up with the short strand on the face, using cardboard for the the curves and clean walls, then light bodyfiller, and finally sanding.

So, I was wondering, is $150 a door a good price? Is the quality there?

I don't like the last picture, with the peeling of the filler by the armrest. But the customer came to pick up the doors as the primer was drying, so no time. I'm sure the suede would hide it.

the last two look much better. If you're building a name for yourself, you don't want to come out the whole swinging with high prices. I think 150 per door is ok for this.

They're smooth as glass, just that one part by the arm rest and the light, those are the only problem areas I had. And the next ones for sure I will be adding a nut and bolt through the panel for the kitty hair to hold on to, like 2" away from the speaker ring, just in case. But I'm sure they're plenty strong for just that one mid.

Those are the only pictures I have, he picked them up while the second primer coat was drying.

Thanks guys.
