Been around for awhile
I have a friend that works a Finish Master AutoPaint n Venice.My buddy recommended this painter named JR that lives in Venice,Fl.Well long story short i explain what i want done he says he do that with the colors i wanted ,so i decided to paint them the way i did with before.Well this is what i ended up with. Overspray,dust in the paint as well as the clearcoat,scratches in the paint and runs in the paint .JR says he will not refund my money or paint them way i wanted for the price he quoted.This Guy is a Rip Off and and real Sh!tty painter:ack2::thumbsdown:.Please avoid ever using this guy for any painting:thumbsdown::thumbsdown:

That really sucks when you relieze on someone else's reference,:NoNo:sounds like he got in a hurry with the drying process and never did any prep work,as we all know 80% of great paint is the prep work.

Are you going to get fuzzy dice painted on it now that you have Real fuzz on them anyways.:shrug01::lmao::lmao::lmao::lmao:
 
12 pack of beer, some advanced auto paint and i could do better.

I had Tracys painter paint my FRC's to match the car and they came out perfect. Same guy who did the ghost flame job on the Z they had up there. So im sure design problem wont be an issue.
 
I paint in a Barn,and get allot better results than that!!:rofl1::rofl1::rofl1:

You Have a Problem!!:thumbsup::rofl1::D

I believe Ken (72 Ragtop) got his C3 back from the paint shop. I'll let him do the talking about the job though.
 
Got the car back today. All i can say is WOW. Most know it took me 3 yrs talking to painters about the scratches in the nose area between the headlight and hood. Thanks to Rick i found a guy whom spent hours talking to me about what i wanted. Not what he wanted to do. I didnt have to get nose done as most wanted to do. He and the paint mixer spent hours matching the 20 yr old paint on my car. they added a drop at a time of metallic/iridescent content? whatever that means and finally hit it on the head. Did anyone realize how many types of metallic shapes and sizes are available. Hell, i didnt. Well, guess i owe Rick a dinner for reference. If i can get everything put back together will be out sat. am show. Or will drive by as its up the road.
PS for those whome pm'd me asking what they used its Dupont ChromaPremier base color, didnt ask about the clear coat.
