I have a small detail business I do on the side for fun and so I can attend SEMA, I have looked into doing this kind of work but short of going all in and doing a lot of volume I don't think it would pay much.
The guys that do my cars do this in less that 3 hours. Full front, rockers, a-pillars and partial roof, and rear bumper behind the wheels. Mostly freehand from roll stock.
