+I preffer to do my own since I learned first hand from a painter that did it for a profession. I am able to do a show quality job at a fraction of the price because you need to be aware of certain factors when you paint. I don't have 30,000 tied up in a paint both with sata guns either. Patients an understanding of the products is key.
I could if you were close. I have painted dump trucks an cars very reasonable. It all depends on the paint cost. Color is the price factor.
I have been trying so hard to get my car into one piece that tearing it down to that extent is mind boggling. One step at a time I guess.....and for me, baby steps! I suppose if I ever get to one of those Mav/Comet gatherings and see all the BEAUTIFUL cars, the tear apart bug might get me.
Yeah I liked my Mav but the paint was less than perfect for sure. So I wanted it to be as nice as possible. Hope to have it all back together before April 1st for a local car show 71gold I like that white !!!!
Dang.....a year and a half? how do you get the painter re-motivated? sounds like the painter lost interest.......yikes!
What happen to it after the friend got it? What state of disassembly was it, when friend got it? I am to old for my car to be locked up for 1.5; I like driving it -- just the way it is. If it ever gets disassembled to the point of your 71, someone else will own it....
the pic. shows how it was when he got it. we loaded all the pieces and parts in the car, loaded it on a rollback and to his house it went. he has it as it was as far as I know. sad thing...I drove it to the paint shop... Patches has been there and back but a piece at a time. door off, door on...fender off, fender on...trunk "door" off, trunk" door" on...(I like "trunk door")
