[QUOTE="Black Gold 380R, post: 16384871, member: 70025"] Hello Everyone! I received a couple cars yesterday which the owner wants painted SB. One of the cars he sent me was already painted SB. I believe he bought it off eBay, but I'm not sure. He wants me to respray/fix the car. Once I received the car and inspected it I have to say I know why he wants it redone. Now, overall who ever attempted to paint this car did a very good job. You can tell the car was completely disassembled as there is no overspray on any parts such as the windows, cowl area, wheels or the lights. The front and rear bumpers do have the chin spoiler and rear valance painted black as well. However, the paint job itself and the detail work is lacking. There are no emblems on the car and the third brake light is not painted. The paint job is the correct color and looks decent from some angles, but is in really bad shape in others. I give the person who attempted to paint this a pat on the back as I think they did some things very well, but need help in other areas. I also want to show people here kind of a side by side comparison. I'm doing this so people can understand this is not as easy to do as it looks and so people can have a little bit more of an understanding of why I charge what I do in order to do this and provide a top quality product. A lot of times people ask about a build and they are onboard until they see the price. Then I never hear from them again LOL. This is NOT a bash on the person who attempted to build this SB Cobra (As stated overall I think they did a good job and made a good attempt). I'm just making a comparison so people understand what goes into these builds. So, here is the SB that was sent to me compared to one of my previous SB builds...……….
