Default Looking for Man-Hrs est on buffing and door install

Hi

Kinda of a wide open question but I'm looking for a est on how many man-hrs it would take to cut and buff a set of 1965 Vert doors, hood and deck lid? Also how many man-hrs to install a set of bare doors?

***TRICK QUESTION*****

To what level of perfection are you looking for?????...because as you know TIME is MONEY.

Also depend on how long the clear has cured out and IF it LIKES being sanded and buffed when CURED OUT. I know of some clears that you can NOT sand and buff....they just get WAY TOO HARD.....and if you are lucky enough to scuff it...you will NEVER get the scuff marks out.

Also the condition of the paint is also a factor...not knowing if it is loaded with specks and light trash...they all require care and attention to prevent a problem.

Then there is HOW MUCH CLEAR is on the panels and can they actually TAKE being sanded and buffed to perfection...BECAUSE there is a specific MINIMUM amount of clear that HAS TO BE on the panel to fight against the UV's of the SUN.

And when you are asking about install a pair of bare doors...are you asking how long to hang them and get them set ...or..... completely re-assemble?????
