Bro, i'm all for someone with talent trying to make it in the business, but 800-1500 to start off with no client base or referrals is quite steep. If you want to drum up business for yourself in a new market, then you may want to think about cutting some cheap ass deals to get persoanl word of mouth referrals out there for you. Cause it certainly wont take long for the admin to shut you down for self promotion/advertising. I'd love to have a few sets painted, but i certainly wont pay 800 bucks for a basic color change. Especially when most DIY can do a pretty damn good job on their first try for less than 500 using all the best shit.

Good luck mang.
