Your interior looks real good. I'm planning on doing mines the same way.

Did the shop have to remove the pieces for them to be painted or did they keep them on?

It may seem like a lot to you semtex....but Ron enters all the shows with us and a $2 Krylon job can be spotted by any judge. To win at shows everything must be top notch and look professional. You may be good with a spraycan.....and Im sure your setup looked great, but for those of us that are out for trophies/sponsorships....rattlecanning isnt gonna cut it. Not only that...knowing something is going to be done right the FIRST time is very important to most of us...peace of mind can be worth a lot to many of us.

Its just a different perspective. $140 is actually a good deal if your painter is doing all the necessary prepping and clearing....Ron's setup is definitely top notch!!!! The pics dont even come close......Good Job Bro

Im not attacking you semtex...just informing you since you couldnt "beleive that"....please dont take this post the wrong way.

I was going to do the red on my car, but now that I've seen the pics... Well, thanks for the warning! LOL! j/k

How come even on your site the car looks pink? How about some tint correction there dude!
