Lots of work on this one! 56k beware...

[Nick Chapman]

Here's a Mustang that I just finished. I spent about a week with this car in my garage. Lots and lots of work!


Before pictures show a lot of scratches, scrapes, hazy/dull paint and orange peel...

Did they paint that mofo in backyard under a tree on a windy day? Then it looks like they sanded it to buff, but forgot the buffing part.

[Nick Chapman]

Depends on how much was sprayed to begin with. Painters should always spray enough clear, expecting a wet sand afterwards.

Absolutely beautiful (as always). Nick is worth every penny he charges!

You think that's in bad shape.... just wait till i get my truck to you. It'll make you want to quit your job.

[Jester]

Man, I can't fucking wait until Blake and I hand the 56 Ford over to you after it is painted. It should an interesting experience for you since it is gonna be painted in my garage. Don't worry though, I will put 10 coats of clear on so you will be able to sand all the dust nibs and bugs out. :D

This won't be the first one I have painted. I just get the shop extremely clean, mist the floor, and seal the car in a big plastic bag, basically.

pffft.... I asked because I have no idea what a nice auto detail cost. I personally do not need your services but I know a couple of people who do. I was asking more or less for them and my own curiosity. I will just tell them that they can not afford it.....

[MustangVilla]

Saaaaaaaaweeeeeet!:D

God Nick YOU SUCK at this shit!!! why don't you become a trashman or something useful...... :rolleyes:
























Looks BADASS once again!!! :D

this job he did was a whole car wet sand job. It needed it bad and nobody likes wet sanding. So with that in mind it did cost some $$$. I'm sure Nick would need to see the car in person before he can estimate on a price. Its up to what the customer wants and what he can do with the car.

He is well worth the money

I am sure he is and I knew just from looking that that job was probably a little more expensive than most. I figured if I knew what it cost that it could not get much worse.

Sorry it's taken so long to respond. I've had a lot going on around the business and the house.

I don't like to tell what other people have paid. This car was a little more than a usual buff and polish. Most of the cars you see on here take me about 6-8 hours. This one took about 40 hours :eek: So naturally, it's going to be a little more $$

Take a look at out website's "services" page http://www.nickscustomdetailing.com/index-1.html

This will give you a good starting point for our prices.

If you have any questions, please feel free to call, PM, or post them here.


Thanks,
Nick

[Nick Chapman]

God Nick YOU SUCK at this shit!!! why don't you become a trashman or something useful...... :rolleyes:

I could never be a trashman, I'd want to buff all the damn trucks :D

This is exactly correct. I always like to see the car, and meet with the customer before giving an exact quote. I like to see the condition of the paint, and talk with the owner to know exactly what their expectations are with the final result.
Some people don't really care about having their paint perfect, they just want the swirls gone. Others demand that their paint be in perfect condition. And sometimes there is no possible way to give them exactly what they want. There are defects in paint that just will not come out with a buff and polish. So I like to meet and go over the entire car to let them know what I can do, and what I can not do.

[OrangeCrush]

very very nice work.... :eek:

[HoLLoWkaTZ]
