Default How much charged for chrome plating job

I have a question, how I can figure how to charge ($$$) for the chrome plating job.

Does exist a board with all the price for parts

Do I have to charge by square inch, if yes, what will be the price...

Does anybody can help me.

Stephane

Stephane.
When it comes to pricing, everyone achieves this differently.
As for me I charge 30.00 per hour for clean up this will be a majority of your price for the job you are doing. I also charge an additional 1.00 per squar inch. This will help you to replace the supplies you are using. The real object here is to figure out what you can do the job for without losing money.

You need to work up a business plan to determine what your fixed and variable costs are, then charge accordingly to make a profit.

Everyone's costs are different...E.g. A plating shop in Manhattan would probably need to charge 10x what a plating shop in a rural area charges to be profitable.
