Do you mind if I ask how much the paint job cost you (it looks fantastic, BTW)?

Very nice... would you mind sharing how much you spent for it? I am going to be in the market soon, and I'm wrestling with the question of how much to spend...

Really Nice. How much of the prep did you do prior to him shooting it ? I see that there are still items to be put back on. Did he do the door jambs too? Again really nice!

I didn't do any prep work. The car had been keyed on every panel, BAD! He did all the body work and yes he did do the door jams. I had told him not to put everything back on. I have a lot of new items that I wanted to put on myself.

Default Nice Combo....

Luv the color and stripe layout, especially the rear end. Awesome!

Did the painter remove your mirrors, or paint them on the car?

Enjoy!

$1900.oo ?? This guy wants something else right? Your wife, first born?

Ask him if he'd like a paid trip to Kingston, Ontario.
I'll have at least four or five cars waiting for him!

Awesome job and color. The stripe works for me!

My painter is a friend of mine who had just opened his own shop about a year ago. I dropped it off to him last July and just picked it up, so he had it for almost a year! But it was well worth the wait. He did say that he would have charged me 4k had I been anyone else.

That makes sense. And yes, it was worth the wait! I would have felt obligated to pay more if it wasn't a friend!
