Your work looks great and thanks for giving me a pro's point of view on the paint job! I had another one of his bodies, Mugen, and it was flawless.
You are right about the detail and it taking time, hence the reason I paid someone to do it...I can paint basic stuff but it looks like a novice did it,but that's ok cuz I enjoy doing it. So understand that I realize how much time goes into the work. My whole reason for starting this thread was to let others give me their thoughts on the quality of the work and if that was on par with the cost I paid, it obviously is not! He contacted me last night, finally, and he is pissed for he calls bashing his work. I simply put it to the people and they have spoken, that quality of work will not be tolerated. Now he wants me to send him back the bodies, fair enough, prior to him commencing work on the new bodies...WTF!
If nothing else I hope this post gets his attention and brings him back into focus. As you can see from his website he does some pretty stellar work and is certainly on par with some of the other custom designers I've seen. Again, thanks for your "perspective" and thoughts on this matter!

So if this is a $70.00 combo then that's a deal beacause a body is what about $25.00 , me being a painter also can feel for this guy when you have one thing on top of another on top of another. So when you get a hold of him let him understand that your paintjob could have been a lil tighteron the work and minus the logo.
that's my $75.00 job with body
