You get what you pay for.

Just remember if something goes horribly wrong, you will have a hard time getting anything out of him if he's not insured.

If you are familiar with his work and trust him, why let us put any doubt in your head?

I have no doubts about this, and not always get what you pay for, only majority of the time. He painted my boy's black Corvette and it looked like friggin glass after!!! There are better, but for WAY more. He has super low overhead in a nice modern cleangarage!I used to rent right next to him. They are actually newly built storage type garages, but huge. Picturs a storage garage and then a storage garage mansion! That's what they are....lol 30ft deep X 90ft wide X 14ft. high with 11ft doors.brand new. I know I use to pay $575 a month for rent, which around here is super good.

Sounds like a good deal if you trust his work.

I know how it is, I happen to know someone who operates lean and does fantastic work for cheap. My only fear with him would be an accident in the shop with his work or tools and I would have a hell of a time digging myself out of the 'good deal gone bad' situation.

He even said that I could take the fenders off and the front bumper and carry them into his shop! I didn't feel like goin through all that!

I paid $300 to paint my hood. But my PPG paint was $95!!!!!!!!!!!! Red is stupidly expensive.

But I had to have a little body work done to the hood. I should have gotten my fenders faded in. It would've helped ALOT!

Blending is a must!!! My boy's hood you can clearly see how it's darker than the rest. Besides, they did a horrible job on prepping it and they charged him $375...pppffffttttt It is a Cobra R SVO with the silly looing V ram ir in the middle, so it does have more prep and sanding time than my plain jane 3" Cobra R. I can't wait to see the painted mirrors!
