I paint my own and let me tell you there is not enough room for zeros on the check to do it for someone else!
I’m with Matt on this one, having painted a few jets myself, I could never charge enough to paint for someone else. (Nice Bandit by the way)
So many hours involved just in preparation.
Then the whole drama of actually spraying on the finish coats. So many things can go wrong at this stage. (And when it does, it’s nasty.)
Finally, the immense amount of work to flatten and polish.
However, the satisfaction quotient is pretty high when you get it right.
I think most commercial car painters won’t consider models due to the small, and fragile parts involved..
