    Hi all.
    I have not been on here in a while and due to a friend opening up a work shop I now have use of a booth again.
    Paint jobs are going to be around the same price as they used to be around the £400 mark.
    These are intended as a cheap job for drift cars as a tidy up and affordable job as not every one has thousands to throw at a paint job.
    Those of you who know me will know what you get for the money.
    PM me if you are interested.
    Thanks

    £400...... What job do you get for that money?

    Just cost me £255
    3litres of base coat
    5 litres of primer and
    5 litres of laquer

    And cost £160 for 5 litres of qm1 Nissan white top coat.

    Not calling you or your work but a Respray is costly in materials and time,
    The shop I run Starts at £800 and I wouldnt lift a gun for less.

    I'm curious how your making money with cost of gas electric masking materials rent etc

    Ive done cheap repaints in the past..

    Some 2k solids can be as cheap as £60/£80 for 5 litres, Perfect for drift /track spec cars, Shoot and quick buff job done. I personally think for this type job £400 is about bang on the money , for a scotch mask and shoot.

    Please dont get me wrong , most my other cars get real intense paint jobs, planty of flatting blocking, and then generally waterbased paint at closer to £89 plus vat per litre, plus lacquer ... but.. cheap paint jobs are possible if you shop around for the cheap products, its so much easier when your not having to match other paint.

    just to clarify, dave doesnt make much money at all on these jobs. he does it because he is a fucking top bloke and likes helping people out. so it may sound too good to be true, but it really aint!

    Where are you located mate? My s14 is going to need a quick spray soon, as the paint is horrendous lol. I'm only going to roller it if not, so a cheap spray with some 2pack would do me! Thanks.

    Where are you based?

    I may have a couple of bits that could need painting in the near future.

    Also have a mate with a vx220 who definitely needs some bits doing.

    All the guys who have had work done seem to be from Kent. If you're in Kent I'll be a happy man!

    Crazy Dave is not only the nicest guy you'll meet ( hence the price ) but also one of the most talented painters I've seen. Pot some pics up of the work you do during the day dude :D 1/4 million pound classic Ferraris or some shit like that


    Think he makes enough money to get beauty products to make him look so sexay

    I'd definitely be up for this on my PS13 early next year if possible. I'm in Suffolk but it shouldn't be a problem moving the car around.
