Exactly. The day that I finally paint it takes me longer to mask off all the openings in the car and wipe it all down than it does to lay out each coat. I shoot all of my cars apart so I can hit every crevice, jamb, channel, etc. So I have to mask off where the doors were, front and rear windshileds, openings in the firewall into the car, light holes, etc. Plus the wheels and the underside to make sure no overspray gets onto the chassis. I easily have 200-300 hours into each paintjob I do. At $65/hr that adds up very fast.
