      @JRKOUPE haha well to each his own, if my client feels that his Corvette is a muscle car, then so be it? haha

      for the record the owner of the vette has 3 E30 M3s, two with S52 swaps. also some older m6's and a convertible 2002. (yes, convertible 70's 2002)

                hey R3V ive know i have not posted any pics of E30s yet.. i will but right now we are deep into some other builds..

                anyways im Doing a toy drive at my shop and essentially if you donate $60 bucks worth of toys, ill offer $200 off a paint job. this is a limited deal from now till 12/6/13

                we are working with local charities to try and give to toys this holiday season to children who may otherwise not get any.

                please if you can help out, or stop buy for a quick spray and know your giving back.

                if your car isnt in need for paint well i can do $100 off for $30 worth of toys, so you can get a lip or hood done and still save!

                more info is here on my shops page. check it out

                  hw much would you say rotted rocker panels would cost to fix?

                  Comment


                    depends, out here we dont have many rust issues like that but if i went by rule of thumb id say 3-400 a panel. but it varies from car to car.

                      Still no plans to come to SoCal? I would be the first one there.

                      The M3 is begging for a spray of DS.



                      How much to push the sail panel out? (Note the tiny creases next to the inner taillight corners).

                        I apologize in advance that I haven't read this entire thread...

                        What is your experience with matte finish paint jobs? I've noticed a LOT of variability in end results. Some appear to have a nice sheen with the matte finish, others appear dull without any depth.

                          @VadGTI dude!! bring that to me, it makes me sad on the inside to see a M3 suffer :(

                          as far as the body work at most a few hundred but i could bundle it all up, for the sake of saving a M3 :)

                          @cwatt

                          Here @SCC Customs and Collision i have had my fair share of satin or flat finishes, the KEY is budget and who is exactly is painting. a good painter for the most part will usually produce good results but when you introduce a variable like a specialty finish, you cant go with a run of the mil painter who specializes in production-style base/clear applications. you have to find someone who knows what YOUR expectations are.

                          the next key is your budget, which in turn is another limit, chances are if you are spending less then 2k on a satin finish its going to be a single stage and you will get a result that is reminiscent of the kind of finish you see on military vehicles (tanks, Hummers)

                          if you are spending in the 2k+ range chances are its a two stage with a regular base and the specialty "satin" clear.

                          both options can look great however results will vary.

                          which gets us to your statement "I've noticed a LOT of variability in end results. Some appear to have a nice sheen with the matte finish, others appear dull without any depth"

                          this is a result of the single stage vs two/three stage methods AND the actual application methods used.

                          in short every shop/painter will have different results for different reasons.

                          in theory the two stage SHOULD have more depth but from our experience it has alot to do with color choice too.

                          But at the end yes we i do have experience, in both applications.

                            How long would the work take? Trying to figure out the logistics (trailer/tow vehicle + house to crash at, etc.)
