... indeed
24 years in a shop? ummm, sorry to be the "mean" guy here, but if it looks like that in the pics, I can only imagaine...what do you expect people to say...
Probably should have posted the after pics, not the before...and probably in your own thread,just sayin. You have alot of work ahead of you. Most of which could have been prevented.
Car looks good.
Guys, no offense here but what does all of this back and forth have to do with Tony's thread?
Tony is a great guy and offered to do a nice quality paint job for anyone that is interested. He does very high quality work and i can vouch for him. I will be sending him a car in the next few months because I know the quality of work he turns out.
I current have two cars being painted. Here's something to think about for those trying to decide which route they want to go when it comes to getting their car painted.
My 84 has been in paint shop prison for 7 months now. It was supposed to take the guy 3 weeks. He keeps trying to get more and more money out of me after we had already agreed on a price. He has since returned the materials that I bought for the car ($600) and wanted me to buy them again. I did re-buy the material becuase there was extra work in the car that he didnt realize when first telling me a price. I agreed. Now after I've rebought the material 3 months ago, the guy wont do the work. I paid him in full already and he could care less to finish the job. NEVER PAY A PAINTER IN FULL!!!!!! Now the guy wants another $400 just to spray, wet sand and buff the car. This is a pain in my a$$.
Another car we are building for my little brother (frame off WE4) is being painted. We had the bodywork done and sent it a shop to be sprayed. The painter went through the clear and base color into the primer on about 10 corners. I dont know what the heck he was thinking as this is a stupid mistake. So he had to re-spray the car. Guess what, he went through again! SO now my brothers prom is in two weeks and we still dont have a car. It needs to be sprayed again. Problem is now there's way too much material on the car so it needs to be sanding back down. Another pain in my a$$.
I had another car painted in the past and the damn painter stole my rust free doors after taking forever.
Another car that was painted ended up in paint shop prison and i had to call the cops to get it out. Tony and I actually wet sanded and buffed this car in my garage to get it done.
My point is......most of the time painters can give you a hell of a time and can be a nightmare to deal with unless you take it to a high dollar shop that will bang it out becuase their business depends on it. They dont want bad press. Tony is offering a fare price for an excellent job and is a guy that you can trust. He's one of my best friends and I've known him for a long time now. Trusting your painter is a good thing and will save a lot of hassle. I wish TOny still lived close to me so I could just bring my cars to him to do. Unfortuantely I chose to use local people and now i'm suffering becuase of it. With Tony, you will have no worries.
Thanks Jemery,Car looks good.
