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

    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.

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

            Fortunately his opinion falls under the "I dont give a shit" category.

            no, actually that was meant as a compliment. fortunately for me im not so much of a prick that i can still respect other people and appreciate something that may or may not belong to an avatar i like to jeer on the internet.

              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.

                      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 meant not shiny enough, you know it'll be less drag with a high gloss, then maybe you'd make it past Matt and Dave:icon_albino:
