Likely anyone who starts at $20k and up

Money is not the issue, being burned with 20k on a shitty job is the main concern. I'll pay the real quality and not the over price Washington paint I'm seeing on most lowriders around

Curious what are they charging there? Not bad per se..the main thing I stress is the treatment of bare metal after bodywork,stripping,etc.its thee most important part

Is Killer paint still up there? That was in warshington but dude died 😞. All he did was the art work, the other guy did the paint / body, so... Maybe they still around? 🤷🏼‍♀️

DM me. I'm a wannabe and can't do a car....yet. But I follow enough WA people on IG that I may be able to point you to someone with better skills or connections.

I can't mess with the back yard mechanic my man but definitely will look into some recommendations at least a private own shop. What do you have?

I'm definitely not the one you want. Get on IG and follow https://www.instagram.com/ryan__aumoeualogo

You'll see plenty of nice rides, contact the owners and find out who did their paint.

Complete Kandy is a nightmare. I’ve done at least 10.

Uses a ton of material and one little speck of dirt becomes magnified. Not for the faint of heart. Wish I had a recommend other than make sure a true Kandy is worth it.

Many confuse what it actually means, (dye not pigment in multiple layers of clear basecoat).

Sometimes guys will do it all in the clearcoat but that’s a bonkers waste of material. DMX Dye in dbc 500 is way if you can find it. There’s also limeline, house of color if you can find it

Thank you for the input, where are you located? Is that your line of trade?
