    Hello all, as a beginner trimmer, I seem to miscalculate how many hours a project will take, and I know with time and practice comes experience, speed and accuracy. But I would like to know the average amount of hours it should be taking. :smile: thank you!

    Passenger Seat:
    Second row seat:
    Headliner:
    Door Panels:
    Steering Wheel:
    Headrest:
    Bolster:
    Lumbar support:

    There are a lot of unknown variables , it depends on what kind of seat, some are fairly easy others are very complex.
    Same goes for headliners, steering wheels, headrests, armrests.
    With time and lots of practice you will get faster and be able to more accurately estimate how long a job will take.
    Even if we had a book with estimated hours for specific jobs, it could still vary depending on the skill of the trimmer.
    Convertible top books often have estimated installation times but there are still variables, unforeseen problems etc...
