You also have to pay for the working space. The reason why paint jobs cost so much has more to do with the lengthy setup than the actual labor or consumables. You need to maintain a specific temperature. You must detach the painted parts and tape them. There are minimum volumes of paint you have to use before you can mix them. This is why painting one part is so expensive. Painting three bumpers at once is much cheaper but nobody wrecks 3 bumpers at once.

How is "lengthy setup" not labour?
