Ok. I have now started the painting of Sick-D-threes 1970 beetle at lunch today with one of my Grade 12s. My students have done all the work. I have held their hands through most of it. Some of you have asked about the school doing your paint and body work and I will explain below how we do things
The students will do your car as a project. NOT ME! I want this to be VERY CLEAR!!! If anyone asks....the high school in Salmon Arm did it. You will recieve a decent quality paint job for a reasonable price. There will be the odd mistake here and there. Give them a break,.....they're kids :mellow: . The students will do everything including the paint job (I will hold their hand though)
What we charge is parts plus. Meaning, I buy the parts and materials for my cost. You pay retail. On a complete the school makes around $2-300 bucks. A bargain. YOu must supply some pizzas, donuts or cash for your crew of students.
We will stand behind any and all paint and material defects such as peeling, fading, etc. We use quality materials only. No crap. However, if a dent didn't come out quite perfect or there is the odd sanding mark....you're on your own. Take a look at Mike's car when it gets home if you want to see the rough idea of what you can expect. I let the kids do my 68 beetle and it looks just fine.
Some of you don't want a 10g pick and file job on your beast and want it to look presentable so this is what we can give you. It will kick ass on a Maaco job but will be lacking if compared to a Shorts Euro Custom job. We would lie somewhere in the middle.
I am just too busy as of late in my shop so I will not be booking anything else till at least the summer of 2006. The high school may be able to take a job or two in the spring so get your name on the list now.

Also for those thinking about it - the drive up was easy to deliver my car to J - we made an overnighter out of it with our daughter and had a blast.
-
hello, time for you to paint my car then.
-
Are you saying Brents car won't be done until summer 2006 :huh:

The drive was not that bad either when we went up, Did it in one day. Left Surrey at 3 am and got home around 4pm even with truck problems :P
-
There's more than Brent's car booked into the shop. Got lots to do once his is finished.
There should be some pic updates soon on his car though. Will try and get something up for after the weekend. STarting on the support rails Saturday. All the removable panels are coming along nicely.

I am just wondering whats taking so long on that Vert......I know painters are a different breed... and I know you are also a Horse massager :lol: on the side.... But dood James has since put his entire car together and Raced it once...... ;)
Sorry I had to bring out the James card.. But man you are making me pull out all the stops on this one... I don't wanna be driving to Salmon arm Mid winter.... Finding you in the middle of the pasture massaging another pulled or kicked horses groin :blink:
I don't need anymore friends ..... I have KIRIN!!! :wub:

Ya C I am trying to do things correctly.....let me see how do I explain this.......hmmmmmm......it is kind of like putting a pile of money into a car......say one around 10seconds........you kind of rush things to get it done.....go for a ride and BLAM! Back to square one........we want Brent's car to hold up. Something to be proud of for years to come....
All joking aside the panel are coming along REALLY nicely. May even have some shots of paint in the next week or two..keep the eyes open.
