hmm where to start.


well first this thread it stupid. justin knew he could come to me with any problems. i told him in the begining the car would prob need buffing and i wasnt completely comforable with buffing black. there was so much said i really dont know what to address in this.

the $1k price tag. i spent between $350 and 400 in paint. then add the tape and all. i am not like the big body shops that charge 500 for a all over, i cant mix my own paint and have little money in it. i know if had bought the paint at my local store the price would have been even more. so for my profit and time invested he got a hell of a deal. i do have a family to support, a shop and house to pay for, bills and that profit didnt pay very much i promise. most of my customers can tell you that my prices are way cheap. i hear all the time " you need to charge more" so obviously i am to kind to everyones wallet

this is not my first all over job but it is the first in this shop and booth. alot of the problems stem from the setup. lighting mainly. but i dont make enough profit as it is to put more lighting in it. electrician, materials etc.

everyone knows i have been more than willing to fix the few problems my customers have had. and i pushed alot of work out of the way to take justins car back to work on, and i would do it again if thats whats needed. thats the reason this thread is stupid. i have never told him that i wouldnt work on the car anymore. if he is set on getting the car resprayed then i will do it at my loss$.


to the people that say i had plenty of time. try running a shop by your self, (bills, work load, phone calls, customers coming in, etc) have a wife and 9 month old daughter at home. try working on 4 or more projects at a time to keep everyone happy. work 7 days a week and then tell me how that is. yea my friends help out an hr or 2 a week and i am very grateful that they do it. i couldnt do it without them but its still not enough some times.


justin got his car back "subpar" but as stated above i just ran out of time. he had to have the car back and he got it back. i wanted to wetsand the car but just didnt have time. i wasnt 100% happy with the car but all it needs it a wetsand and buff. the foundation is there for what he wants.

justin and i have already discusd what is needed and it will be delt with. everyone will go on happy and say HI at meets and . this is just the normal IA drama.
