I have 180+ hours in the bodywork, prep, and blocking.

$2500 sounds good for a complete job,

$2,500.00 If you deduct your materials, 180 hrs. of lobor, that would only be $10.44 an hr. And you would have more invested than just paint and primer. There's sand paper, body filler, masking tape, etc., etc., etc.
I spoz' it depends what wages average in your area but that is way low for Chicago area.
If you take it to a professional paint shop..... WAY WAY low.
