[Nick Chapman]

Neighbor brought this to me this afternoon. He needed it back the same night, not a lot of time. But I think I got it pretty good :D

[Slowhand]

Jesus. *Golf clap*

[Roliath]

lol
wow man, amazing work!

[BLAKE]

I believe the term I'm looking for is: holy shit!

[krazy kris]

:eek: :eek: :eek: fucking amazing

[97blkpny]

You do amazing work man. I would of told the guy "good luck to you." Well done.

[bsharer]

Photoshop.

[Grant]

Great job. Just out of curiosity, how long could one expect for those results to last?

[Jester]

Great googa mooga!

[Southern93Stang]

the roof on my car looks a lot like that. How much would it cost me to have you do what you did to that jag?

[DFWtechie]

is that with a claybar or wetsanding and buffing?

[TOMMY]

badass like always :eek:

[8mpg]

daaaaaaaaaaaaammnnn.....

[Yale]

Seriously, Nick, when I move back onto pavement, the Neon is coming to see you.

Give me a call and we'll meet up and go over your car together. I'd like to see it before I even try and give you a quote.

Unsure. I gave him a warranty good until he leaves the driveway :D

Seriously, if he stays on top of it(polish or cleaner wax monthly or bi monthly), then it should last a while. If he lets it go, it won't take long for it to fade a little bit. I think he's just trying to squeeze another year out of this car, so it should last him that long at least.

Nick

[Nick Chapman]

is that with a claybar or wetsanding and buffing?


Clay didn't do anything for the defects in the paint. Clay will only remove contaminats that are on top of the paints surface.

I wanted to wet sand it, and it probably would have turned out a bit better, but I just didn't have the time to do it. This was strickly a buffing, actually lots of buffing :D

[Nick Chapman]

Photoshop.
:(

[5.0_CJ]

so was he pleased or what?

[Nick Chapman]

so was he pleased or what?

He smiled and said thank you. Not a lot of emotion.

[Slowhand]

He smiled and said thank you. Not a lot of emotion.

Seriously? I'd be overjoyed if I came back to that!

[Nick Chapman]

Seriously? I'd be overjoyed if I came back to that!


Seriously. I'm sure they were really happy about it. Just not a lot of emotion. Oh well, I got some satisfaction out of it and some money too :D

[Nick Chapman]

Oh yeah, and no tip :mad:

[5.0_CJ]

should have thrown a brick through the windshield and screamed "what now!" and just sat there staring.

[Slowhand]

Great business decision, IMO. :D

Would have been better with a Vette ;)

[HECDOGGIE]

Damn... Looks good terry

[Skidmark]

Damn... Looks good terry

But, his name is Nick?

[HECDOGGIE]

But, his name is Nick?
yeah.. well.. I call EVERYONE terry , TERRY

[Slowhand]

But, his name is Nick?

It's a terrible story, really. On his way back from SEMA, Nick got stuck in Reno. Next thing you know he's wearing hot pants and a tank top, crusing around on roller skates doing coke, prostituting himself. Sad story. :eek: :D

[Skidmark]

yeah.. well.. I call EVERYONE terry , TERRY

I sense a bit a roid rage with all the yelling, Emily.

[Tx Redneck]

Say, how did you mount that florescent lamp to the roof like that? :confused: :p

[Who Needs 8]

<--- Starts Slow Clap . . .

[bsharer]

[89gt-stanger]

Nick, that looks incredible, and without sanding, just wow! :D :D

Just curious, which compound(s) did you use to rid the oxidation?

[FATHERFORD]

You repainted it. Don't lie...

[big_tiger]

shoe polish

[my dixie wrecked]

Damn I think this looks better than the side by side shot of the red coupe. All of that and no tip? Bastages I tell ya! Looks amazing! :D

[79f150]

Awesome work as always! My black sedan isn't half that bad, can't wait to find time to bring it by.

Nick- got your PM I will give you a buzz tomorrow.

[Slow Five-O]

damn good work.

[Jester]

AH horse shit, if you were any good you could have brought my jeep back from the dead..............I'm sure there is some good paint under the pealing stuff!

[Cooter]

I need a top notch job on my Mega Cab :o

I know you're not in top notch shape and we're hours apart, but I don't really trust anyone else.

if you can recomend someone down around Houston, I'll take your advice, but I'd really rather have you do the work

[mysticcobrakilla]
