0corvette pilot

I started this business when I was a copilot at a major airline and that airline went bankrupt and cut my pay in half back in 2005. I've been a vendor here for almost 10 years now, but haven't been very active.

In the last few years, we have recovered most of our pay and I also recently upgraded to Captain, and now the flying is much more lucrative than the powdercoating.

I am still coating, and will keep coating. I am however, also, not going to be advertising anymore, as I welcome a reduction in business.

My sponsorship here will end on February 28th, where they will close my threads and delete my "corvette pilot" username.

You can always find me at my website www.thepowdercoater.com, email me mike@thepowdercoater.com or call me at 678-357-5844

thanks for all the support everyone here has shown me over the years!!!!!!!!

Hope you always have safe flying, Mike. I've watched your biz grow and you help out countless numbers of owners here on CF. Good luck and good flying!

I'm sure you will still be recommended by many!! sucks though you can't keep your user name and just remove the supporting vendor tag. Create another user name with mikethecoater so you'll still be known!! good luck

As I posted in another thread, THANK YOU for your work here. I benefited from your work on my C6 ZR1 blue calipers.

Sorry to hear that you are being mind erased from the site. Still nice to know a company with a good rep is just a few miles away.

Mike -

The best of luck to you. Like many others here, you powder coated a set of calipers on my C6 and they are still beautiful. I've sold the car but I still see the car. You do great work and I'm happy to refer others to you!

Reminder:

Removing a vendor's user name and threads is standard practice. TO do otherwise would allow continued advertising without paying for the privilege. Mike (just like other former vendors) is welcome to create a new user name.

Vendors have always been given the chance to have 2 user names unlike regular members so they can post if they decide to stop being vendors.

This is NOT new.

apparently Mike knows this...

SharkGrayStingray

Mods, were just saying it sucks cause he's been around for so long. NOT BASHING THE SITE. jeez

pewter99

what sucks exactly? removing his vendor name?

what would suck is if he didn't have a user name and a vendor name.....those of us who have been here a long time know who Mike is and what he does.

we always encourage people who become vendors to adopt a vendor name for this very reason.

if you can't see the reason why then I can't help ya.

SharkGrayStingray

Holy crap, all I'm saying is it sucks he has to lose his pretty cool "corvette pilot" screen name instead of just being able to remove the supporting vendor icon. He knew the rules, but it still can suck without bashing!!! Sorry for hitting a touchy subject....

Congratulations Mike, I was the first C6 after yours and it always looked awesome.

Mike I was one of your 1st customers. You matched my mag red very well. Many compliments.

thanks all! No worries. Unfortunately though, I never thought of creating a 2nd user name back in the day. I was a regular member and corvette owner here before I started my business.
