I just thought everyone out there should know about this months magazine Mustang Enthusiasts. The front cover is by ART BY SOLO in Clermont. Solo painted that cover car and it talks all about him in the magazine.Everyone should go pick it up. I put this post because I read what earth brown wrote and I think thats pretty messed up to bad talk that guy when he is one of the BEST painters out there.I went to Solo's shop and he is the nicest guy.Its true he has alot of work but that guy is all over magazines now and is just swamped.I tried to take my new mustang there and he told me I had to wait till next year to get it painted.I think some people just cant be satisfied. Those stripes look awesome and I have never seen one done like that. I also think earth brown should take the advice of the other person that said just take it to another shop.Because what will happen is no one will be able to do what Solo did so good luck with that. I think his website speaks for itself. Here is the cover picture for all the REAL MUSTANG ENTHUSIASTS.

Not to be a dick but I don't give a **** about whether the guy has been on the cover of 10 magazines, all that matters to me is the attention he gives to each and everyone of his customers. He can do the best job in the world but if he's not upfront with his customers about how long it's going to take him to complete a job, that customer is not going to be too happy about it. Not all of us can wait 3 weeks while our car gets stripes painted on, it's a job that should be done in about a week. It's just the simple formula that the bigger a shop (company) gets, the less attention they give to an average customer.

Stang Freak,
First of all you can not see all the problems with my stripes from a few sh@#ty pics I took,you have to see it in person.You dont know what your talking about so maybe you should not comment.I said they were great people and Solo was a good dude.Eveything I said about him was true and he even agrees that he screwed up the clear on my car.His paint booth is old and dust was getting in,that is why I have so many imperfections in the clear.That is also why he is taking it back after the new booth gets installed and he is going to clear the whole car again
As far as never seeing one done like that .Thanks. I picked out the color and stood there with Solo when he was taping it out and told him exactly how I wanted them.
You also must think I am made of money and that I should just go put out another 2500.00 for stripes and then take the guy to court. I plan on giving Solo another shot but just because he is on the cover of some rags does not make him perfect,he is human and he did fu#k up my stripes and admits it.I dont know why that bothers you so much and I dont appreciate your implying I am NOT a TRUE MUSTANG ENTHUSIAST,I love my stang and I want it perfect ,that is why I went to Solo in the first place.
