His name is Guy, he is the painter at Lloyds auto in Moorhead. He wont do body work but will do final prep and painting. His rate is $25 an hour and the booth fee is $250 for a car, probably less for just a hood. He is an excellent painter and has been spraying for over 25 years. He will work weekends and is extremely fast. Total spray time on my car was under 2 hours for sealer and 2 coats. I can pm you his cell number if you want to talk to him about your paint. Progressive is really great for hoods and smaller jobs.

Yeah, for some reason he changed it to reverse alphabetical order.

Or... maybe re-arranging it in alphabetical order using last names?

That makes a lot more sense now doesn't it, and I thought it meant something else.

I would think pretty much everyone here will agree I know a few things about building cars. Keep it though, I enjoy it.

You not being a prick it contrary to my opinion. I am glad that you will be appreciative of my opinion, and respectful enough to stay out of this thread. By the way, your little sig quote just makes you look stupid. I would think pretty much everyone here will agree I know a few things about building cars. Keep it though, I enjoy it.

have you cut and buffed the car yet? just asking cuz i dont know what would happen to a flat color like that, if it would polish it out or not..

You dont cut or buff satin paint, that would defeat the purpose.

Total cost primer, sealer, paint, booth, labor. $600 (excluding my time doing body work and my time spraying primer).
Pretty cheap. I decided to have Guy spray it in Lloyds booth since my garage is covered under a foot of primer dust and I cant wash it due to the weather. 3 little nibs. I really like it. Was HVLP 2 pass 50% overlap with SEM Hot Rod single stage over global sealer. It should look good going down the track slightly behind Bill, Dave and Matt.

Who is this guy and does he paint misc. parts like hoods for cheap too?
