Have you seen the pictures of the work area. bare stone walls and unpainted concrete, no ovens, no dust filtration.

You get what you pay for. if he's using water-based paints (which he should be by law) it's gonna be fairly tricky to get an acceptable finish with a complete lack of the proper baking equipment.

No offense , but you would hardly get a car trailer painted for that money. I would want to see several jobs they have done before I would part wuth my cash

As discussed before 2-3k is the ball park figure for a proper respray.

Sounds cheap that... see if you can find some previous customers have a look at their cars..

Took me a while to figure out what was playing that horrible music on the bebo page.. God I really really dont like those plain white tee guys

It does seem a bit too good to be true, but no harm in checking out examples of their work I guess. You can't really tell anything from the pictures of previous jobs, between bad lighting and bad angles and everything you can't see the finish of the paint jobs.

I went back for a second nose around the shop, there was a lad collecting a black levin that he sprayed from white, got to admit guys I was well impressed with the finished product!
