You seem to be suggesting that this is an exorbitant hourly rate?
Had your car dealer serviced recently?????
Without laying out the maths in detail (which i can if needed), to pay a tradesman $1500 per week, comes out as a direct cost to the business of $68.21 per hour.
After that we take out rent/mortgage, power, insurances, admin costs, compliance costs........
$110 ph is fuggen cheap mate.
Your panel beating shop is not a LAME shop. The paint shops I've seen use the lowest apprentice level of labour for strip and prep and then the clever (more expensive) guys for the stuff that matters as I detailed my my short post above.
