Default Pricing

What's the best way to figure how to charge for a powder coating application. I've already called around to the "very few" local guys and asked for quotes. There has got to be a formula for figuring out what to charge to brake even on your equipment after say 3-5 years, initial material recovery, and actual labor spent. Anybody have any ideas?

$40 Hr is about right for a Backyard style PC shop. That's what I charge for custom stuff. I do have a pricelist on my site for common stuff that I do. I am still working on it though, it's not totally finished.
