Hey guys, little slow right now so I am looking for buiness to keep me busy. I just opened my shop about 6 months back but I have been painting for about 15 years or so. Let me know if you need one done. My prices are fair and I do good work. Its just hell just starting out till you get your name out there. I just did a 70 GTO Judge so that should tell you what people that know me think about me to leave it for 3 weeks with me. here is a link to some pictures of things I have done, not all lol, just a few. I want to paint the buick for bweavy in the give away but just not able finacially grrrrrrrrrr its killing me. Well send me some buiness if anyone of you can close to georgia. Thanks guys
New pictures of recent work
Thanks Daniel Ray
 
I know the feeling. I've been full time for two years now. It has it ups and downs. You have to plan ahead for the slow time. And trust me it will come. But if you are truly good, then your work will show and people will want to get you to do there stuff.

FWIW, when I started a close friend of mine told me this "Save every penny like its your last".

Thanks man, I try to be extremly good at what I do as its very personal to me. To the average person it looks awesome and to me it looks like crap. I am very ticky lol. I'm hanging in there, just rough at first getting enough work to keep you busy all the time and of course everyone wants you to do it for free grrrrrrrrrr. Daniel Ray

try poping into car lots,it will bring in some extra cash...i need the suburban hood painted but your a bit far...I had a friend local for my painting but he screwed up 3 different friends cars and they all gave up on getting it fixed as he likes to point fingers and make excuses so after sending over 20+ people i dont send him no more..

And my suburban was painted about 2-3 years ago and the hood started hazing after 1,and he kept saying he will get to it,never did,i finnaly cut ties...the hood now looks like its wet sanded,but it wont buff out...the sides are fine but now the roof is doing it too,definatly not enough clear,it was base clear...some people really dont have a clue and some are very good,but its going to take a couple of years to get established..

Daniel Ray & Scott I started out in the back yard of my house when I was getting back surgery. I decide to part an 84GN instead of restoring it.
That was back in 1999-2000 I bought another 84GN & parted that out. Then it was like addictive.Moving shops every 2 years & expanding.
Only one thing you have in business & that is your name & you can't put a price on that.
One day you'll look back & remember how little stress you had & how much better it was.
Enjoy it! The day will come when your too busy. I think the TFT give away will give you alot of exposure just don't grow too fast too quick. When that happens you will realize it & it isn't a good feeling.
I wish you the both of luck & say thanks for what you guys are doing.
