The kind of investigation to be conducted (which, for example, can be based on the level of a security clearance needed) will depend on the reason for the investigation. Different kinds of background investigations have different requirements for the scope of the investigative coverage to be obtained.
Instead of trying to measure every inch of masking tape used and every ounce of paint sprayed, auto-body shops charge a flat rate for materials. At a rate of $45 per hour on average, paint materials also contribute to the rising car bumper repair costs.

A shop with the right guy and the right tools may charge 50 and hour and have it done in 2 hours. 100$. A shop with unskilled people, wrong tools, may charge 25$ and hour, and take 10 hours. 250$.
