My Ways To Price Armor.

[baddog9000]

Here my way of pricing armor starting from the raw pep to the painted version.
This necessarily doesn't have to be used but can help, Noobies price there armor.

Pricing:

Pepakura model $15-20(Cardstock,glue,Printer ink)

Fiberglassed rough model $50-55(Fiberglass,Cardstock,Hardener,Paint brushes, Lacquer thinner)

Sanded fiberglass model $60(Sanding labor,Sand paper)

Bondo raw model $90(Bondo,Putty knife, Hardener)

Bondo sanded smooth model $100(Sand paper, spot putty, more Bondo if needed.)

Painted model $150 (Krlon primer, depends how many colors you get.)

Shipping and handling 200-250(Deepens how heavy it is)

You may think this is cheap for armor but if you sell it in set
your money will jump. set of pepakura fiberglass bondo sets
would run 1500 bucks.

Hope this help you new members starting your business.
There maybe a thread like this I search but nothing came up.

Kind of pointless when you consider the amount of time and sweat goes into making a single set. You couldn't make a business out of it and a molded pull is cheaper and quicker than making an original many times over.

Besides we're here to make armor, not money. If you guys did some digging you would find there have been more than a few of this type of thread. LOCKED and WARNED.
