Plasti-dip the Spyder?

'Temporary' could be a year or more...
Whenever you use forceful and overt verbal persuasion to try to convince others to see things your way, they're probably not listening to what you say, Instead they're looking for every error in you your logic and mistakes in your facts, all the while constructing counterarguments. Worse still, they don't merely believe you're wrong; they need you to be wrong in order to protect the status quo. And since the final judge exists in their own head, you lose every time. - The Influencer
Is the level of bullshit you have to go through to change things in a direction you want, less than than or equal than the level of current bullshit?

Or we could sell it to Ryan and be done with this whole silly thing

I think for a temporary solution, the plastidip would be nice, especially since she is in need of some body work.
For a long term solution, bring the car down here to my paint guy. It will take him a month, but your Spyder will look factory show room new when he is done. And for a price that cannot be beaten.

I don't care if it takes an entire winter. I just want to find someone who will work with me to do it the way I want it done.
Re: Plasti-dip the Spyder?
what kind of price?

Re: Plasti-dip the Spyder?
I am interested in this also. If its cheap enough, it would be much better than a garage done respray and my inexperienced bodywork

[thestealth] It's not every laborador-sized mammal that gets a damned APC named after it, but the Honey Badger isn't your typical member of the Mammalia class. He's a brutal, vicious killer who kicks asses, never backs down, never registers fear, destroys everything in its path and then adorably trots off into the sunset with his prey in his teeth and the severed nutsacks of his enemies still gripped between his dagger-like claws. It's a badass animal.

I hoped he wasn't talking about that guy...

Re: Plasti-dip the Spyder?
Here is his work. He has now done 3 or 4 cars in our group, Adam's included.
The day I dropped off the car. We met up for lunch where I gave him the keys.
First step he went through and marked my car for any place with body damage.
Then went to work fixing her all up.
From there the car was dissembled.
Masked up then primered.
Pretty white paint going on. Did a slight color change from the OEM Galaxy White to the Lexus Starfire White.
All done.
Everything that was black stock, is black with the paint (sail panel stripes, rear bumper t etc.) Car looks factory show room.
Full disasembly, body work, paint and reassembly I was out a total of $2,250. I paid him $2,500 in the end after tip.
Adam was a little less since he dissembled the car before dropping it off.
He does the prep work at his Grandma's house, then sprays the car in his booth at work. You are paying for Richard and the body guy Mike's time. Richard's boss doesn't mind him doing side projects like this in the off time, he works at an insurance paint and body shop. So they are plenty busy.
Sorry for all of the pictures, just wanted to give you a full idea of what he does.

Re: Plasti-dip the Spyder?
That's an awesome price. I think Jeff wants to do the strip down too (then we'd have to trailer, but I guess we have to get back somehow). I'm thinking 3 stage paint, so that'd be a bit more too, but it's tempting to jump on this sooner than later.

Re: Plasti-dip the Spyder?
Here's my ideal scenario.John wrote:Adam was a little less since he dissembled the car before dropping it off.
Strip the car down to a bare rolling chassis myself. I'll rent out a booth and paint the door jambs, engine bay and a few other places that don't require a top quality finish. Maybe do the underbody if I get really ambitious.
Then do the bare minimum reassembly to tow the car to a shop to have the exterior surfaces painted by a professional. Tow the car home and do the final reassembly myself.
The whole car would be a color change BTW.

At that price, I think it'd be best to have him paint it all, rather than messing with a booth and everything.

Re: Plasti-dip the Spyder?
True. Like I said, that was an ideal scenario.
Ideal or not, it's a shitload of money... We're already well past the point of no return on this car
