I'll chime in too, this seems like a great deal and more importantly done by an honest person with pride in his work. Anyone who bitches about a $500 paint job not being perfect is an idiot.

Hell, the $700 with wet sanding is still a great deal.

Thanks dude

guys small uodate and some bad news the $500 special is over, someone complained about the work I was doing and my business took a big hit I havent painted a car in over a month. I have tried to be super up front with all my customers about what to expect and it really is unfortunate people want to hate, Jesse warned me about this when I started and it recent weeks I have seen it first hand. The result of this is that I feel people now have a poor impression of my work and from what I can tell this is due to runs in the clear. So, I guess I can do two options $700 will get your whole e30 wetsanded w 400 grit I will ask you remove bumper trim and side mouldings ect, then 3 coats of Transtar or PPG base(your choice and both are good I prefer the transtar SLIGHTLY) then three coats of PPG clear coat, Then the whole car gets buffed. The good news is paint will look 1,000 times better. I hope to post some pics of the cars after they are buffed, if you still want kike a budget paint job($500) I can accomodate that if you have like a track car, I will do my best but EXPECT runs, this isnt poor technique on my part, I believe if you get a $5k paint job there might be runs, but you never see them because for that price the paint is colorsanded and buffed before it is returned to the customer. SO anyway I hope I can still paint some cars, the best thing about this for me ( with a few exceptions) has been meeting other e30 guys, and seeing these gorgeous cars transformed.

Hey man your going to have that in any business, its how you overcome the hit that will determine if you will have a successful business or not. Keep plugging away and next time charge $650 and do a little extra work on it to get it better, and so on. As long as you say there WILL BE RUNS then you are ok, and then if there are not any runs you look even better. Keep painting if its something you enjoy but you should be making a buck or two for yourself if you going to be doing it. That is a great price, wish you were in ohio!
