Title: Need a painter
Post by: RIFLEMAN on July 25, 2009, 11:29:59 PM

OK,monkeyed a bit with the rattle cans and the results look like sh*t. What I need is somebody that is experienced with shooting good ol' Rat Rod satin black on fiberglass bodywork. Got a tail,nose and belly pan that need to be shot inside and out.
All the prep work will be done before I bring the bodywork to you. I will buy all the materials and you tell me what your skills are worth. Budget is tight,so be reasonable. Not looking for a show quality job,just something presentable from,say,10ft.
Need you to be in San Berdoo,L.A., or Riverside counties.
Thanks

Hey Mike,

Let me know if you don't find anyone local to you. We could do a thing where I could meet you at a race and take the bodywork back here for paint, then take it to you at the next race.

BTW - good choice on primer. Everybody knows primer is faster

:-D Well,picked up the bodywork a couple of weeks ago and Bob did a stellar job. Even smoothed the inside of my GOBIT ram air intake at no extra charge and mixed me up a pint of touch up paint.
Thanks for the hook up IB,I owe ya!
See you on the lakebed.
