[Chowder Head]

And it looks flat out amazing. Grady, props to you man, you really did a kick ass job. Rather than trying to convince you all with text, allow me to try it with pictures. :D

Not bad, huh? :D

Not only did he shoot the body with the kickass color you're seeing, but he slapped on some smoked headlights, fixed a small bump in the trunk, repainted my tail lights (check out the before pictures, the left one is faded) cleaned up my door jambs, and GAVE me the leftover paint he didn't use. He figured well I paid for it, I might as well keep the rest...all for an extremely fair price. I'll post what I paid if Grady's cool with it. But it was a hell of a lot less than $3,000.

Props to you once again Grady. Letting others know about the quality of your work is the least I can do. :D

[BosnianLanos]

Sweet paint man. I've been trying to find time to set an appointment with him so that he can paint my car. Damn full-time work.

But yeah, I've also seen examples of his work IN PERSON, and he does absolutely superb work.

...now I'm inspired to go spend money on paint. Damn!

[SneezinCD5]

Looks pretty good. Needs a little wetsanding and should be good. Whats up with the fitment on the head/corner lights?

[killerMikeD]

so what brand of paint was used and how much did you pay if u dont mind my asking, looks good from the pics. - mike

[1sicbu]

[Jason.]

Looks damn good, I'd like him to do my truck and wheels black, but that'd cost a pretty penny with how big this bitch is.. :lol:

I think it would be to big, did you see the pics of his car being prepped, its in a garage; your car wouldn't clear the clearance.

[slow poke]

[FrodoGT]

Looks amazing. If/when I get my car painted, this will be the place I will come most likely. Grady do you deal with small dings and dents?

[JordanKing]

That shit is nice man. He did a awesome job

[w00sh!]

Can you please post Grady's contact information? I would like to get a quote from him for my car. Thanks!

:cool:

[Outkasted24]

his screen name is Oldschool98 , PM him and he'll call you.

I don't think he wants all of his info posted in the open for everyone to see.

Im here,lurking. Pm me

[Chowder Head]

Thanks for the kind words guys, I truly do appreciate it! My paint hasn't looked good, well, since ever and was the biggest flaw about my car. Now, it's basically the highlight, ha. I can't praise Grady enough, he really did a great job. ESPECIALLY because when I was in the process of finding someone to paint my car, I was considering going with Driven Concepts....and look how they're doing now. :-o So yeah, I'm fortunate!

About the price, I was going to post it but decided to refrain from it. Let's just say it was very reasonable.

Can you please post Grady's contact information? I would like to get a quote from him for my car. Thanks!

:cool:
If Grady didn't PM you, let me know and I'll let you know his contact information.


Thanks again everyone! :D

[ekhatchboy]

[tuner1989]

What kind of paint did he use? How will it hold up over time?

[tranceologist]

base/clear not sure of brand. i believe hes changed up since the last car that i kno of was done like a year ago. prep coulda been better in some spots, but the paint seems 2 be bonding nicely. no chips on the bumper from road debris.
so paint job is beautiful, prep, shoulda been better.

u can always pm him directly... oldschool98/grady
hes a great guy and can answer all ur questions


g/l

[MadeAStinky]

looks like nason 2k primer....

[oldschool98]

Actually its called "price for the job was less than buying more material and spending more time on it". When your customer can only spend so much money you have to draw the line somewhere.

[o1yellowGT]

/\ lol

[Derekismoney]

im meeting up with him tonight for an estimate. He seems like a really stand up guy. Hes going to paint my Evo and ill gladly post some before/after pictures. If he does a good job (which im sure he will) ill make sure everybody knows about it!

[MSAA_2001]

wow really nice.. im thinking bout getting mines painted with him as well..

[FoDoTegQT]

BUMP !!
nice paint job :)
