    What a job !!! If you ever decide to travel to the Mid Atlantic in that red van of yours...... Well sign me up.

    You have FAR better paint experts a lot closer to you than I am! Thanks for the compliment though

      Don't know how I missed this one earlier...

      I have some thoughts on the write-up and the process you chose to handle this particular session. Really, I can sum it up best by saying:



      S W E E T N E S S ! ! ! !

      A chili-pepper line-dance ensues. I know, it's surreal and rare, but it does happen... Especially in Texas. "BOOM-BAM!, CHA-CHA-CHA... BOOM-BAM!, CHA-CHA-CHA..."



      I wish those cars (and all-image cars) for the big three left the factory with their paint-jobs looking that smooth.
      You are a force to be reckoned with Nick Chapman... I reckon'!

          I guess there are some great paint experts in these parts ( met one thru this forum ) but I havn't been exposed to before / after shots like what's shown on this thread. I can only imagine what that baby looks like in person....

            I am glad to see that i am not the only sicko who loves to shave paint. The long sleepless hours alone with the buffer.

            Great work nick, anyone can squeeze the trigger on a spray gun with a little instruction but what you did requires a feel and passion to work the wheel over the paint to produce those results.

            Again great work

                Thanks guys!
                Just got an update from the owner. Before he brought it to me, he couldn't sell the car for $48k. He sat on this price for over 6-8 months with lots of people looking, but no cash flowing.

                After I finished it, he decided to bump up the price a bit, and was able to pull in $56k for this car! Not only that, but the first person that came and looked at it, bought it

                $8k extra, and an instant sale. Not bad for just having the paint worked
