That or, realising that bikes are a lot cheaper than the cars they normally do, they could keep the price low and start advertising a bit. Use this easy work to fill in the slow days when no one needs their racecar painted. If they are cheaper than everyone, they can corner the bottom of the market on a few colours and thus expand their locally limited business plan.
