His work looks legit....some Porsche he painted won 2nd place in some Gucci car show, if that makes any difference.
I've gotten other quotes of 5-6k, materials included. Apparently black is the toughest color to make look straight. | | | Re: DOOM VAN | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 32,696 Likes: 172 Old Timer | Old Timer Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 32,696 Likes: 172 | Sounds good! Yes the black is tough.

Hope it works out. That's a great rate for a auto painter. | | | Re: DOOM VAN | Joined: Jan 2014 Posts: 2,290 Likes: 137 veteran | veteran Joined: Jan 2014 Posts: 2,290 Likes: 137 | One thing to keep in mind is nothing lasts forever, even bed liner. If you think the prep work is expensive now, imagine how many hours would go into removing that mess. I'm a fan of bed liner in truck beds, but that's about it. I know many will disagree with me, but IMHO it looks super half assed when used as an alternative to paint. Like it belongs on a lifted diesel with tow mirrors, semi stacks, and covered in Monster stickers. Aside from all that, it's made to be hard to remove, I wouldn't even take on a job to try removing that stuff. | | | Re: DOOM VAN | Joined: Sep 2019 Posts: 1,510 Likes: 172 Master Yard Rat | Master Yard Rat Joined: Sep 2019 Posts: 1,510 Likes: 172 | This guy has his own shop/booth on his property, probably 1/3 of a mile from me.

It happened this past weekend during a weird spell of crap weather. I went to it anyway and stuck a for sale sign on it thinking I might get a few bites......ha. I realized that monring that we forgot to wire the wipers back up, so it made for an interesting pre show cruise. One of these things is not like the other..... | | | Re: DOOM VAN | Joined: Aug 2002 Posts: 18,536 Likes: 136 Supreme Master | Supreme Master Joined: Aug 2002 Posts: 18,536 Likes: 136 | Looking good out there.
