  • Price check/Snowmobile Skis

    (Responded ont the "other" forum as well)

    Steel skis are more than likely painted, not powdercoated. At roughly 3' long and 6" wide, to blast/primer/topcoat - I'd figure $40 to $50 each. (Probably low though)

    $100 for the pair any more then that and your getting close to the price of replacement skis.

        I guess he'll just have to get replacememnt skis then, I ain't gonna whore myself. At least not when it comes to powder coating.
        Glad you added that last statement, you ol' ho!

            Aaah gotcha. I've gotten screwed before by giving prices on items without seeing them before. Starting to learn my lesson though...

              Giving a price without seeing the part can get ya sometimes. Ya gotta be careful, ya do learn quick though.
              Yup, most common so far:

              Me: "I thought you said this was bare metal?"

              Customer: "Well, it is. Underneath the 3 coats of paint and clear."

              That's always a good one.

                  I tried to buy some aluminum oxide media from a local monument/marker outfit here. He had some. 20 and 30 grit! I don't even think one of those rocks would go through the hose, let alone the nozzle!

                    I hope you add, "Subject to part condition, above and beyond normal prep will cost extra" with all your quotes. Thats what I say on quotes where I can't see the part. I also say if you bring me a load of grease with a valve cover somewhere in side I'll charge you $50/Hr to clean it so please bring it reasonably clean. I won't actually charge the guy 50 an hour but it gets the point across.

                    I don't think I'm out of line asking the customer to bring in a somewhat clean part. I'm not in the degreasing business
