Which finish should a value tier use?
Short answer
Unpainted or single-colour bodies, which is what our sample prices. Multi-colour masking, foil and photo-print finishes each add labour, and the cost difference between an unpainted body and a three-colour painted one is larger than the difference between two body lengths.
In detail
Decide the finish tier before comparing quotes, not after.
