    Default Anyone Interested in Custom Painted Interior Parts?

    I've been painting interior parts for some time now and was wondering if anyone would be interested in having me paint their parts? I use my airbrush and Sikkens automotive paint (no spray cans here!) and finish every piece with a good clear coat, every part is finished to be show quality.

    As far as prices go, I was thinking I'd charge for the paint supplies (price based off of color code, shouldn't run more than $20 for most factory colors) and then a per piece price ($10-$40) for labor. I don't have any photos to post right now, but I'll be finished with my mustang parts I am doing later today and can get pictures to you by request.

    Turn around time on parts wouldn't run more than 2 weeks. Thanks for reading

    I thought that was a good idea.. 40. is a little steep considering alot of the pieces arent that big. Would you put a clearcoat on each piece also? I would do it if 20. for paint and 10. for each piece painted. I am looking to get the center console and each door done. I could also post pics of all your work when your done. I'm over here in Davis so let me know.

    He's kinda getting screwed for $10 bucks, prep time, cleaning and prepping in between color and clear coat, plus equipment. He's spending time on your parts give the guy a break

    Well to me it looks like shes just starting out. I usually don't trust anyone with my car. What I'm saying is with being new and not having a portfolio of her work than thats what I'm would like to pay. I would pay 20.00 per part thats not a problem if I see some past done jobs. I guess I should have put her name so that way she knew I was talking to her and not anyone trying to bud in.

    I have done over 20 stangs and Rangers in the past year. I said I will have photos to post once the set I am doing is done, I had photos of other parts from before but because of a virus I lost everything I had saved on my harddrive so I have to rebuild my portfolio. If your not comfortable having someone else touch your car then I guess your better off waiting until you find someone you trust or do the work yourself. I will have my car at the Apex show on the 14th if you would like to see my work in person.

    My rates are $10-$40 per piece which is reasonable for the amount of work involved, The paint used is billed by actual cost. I spend a lot of time prepping parts so they turn out right and I don't cut corners or use cheap products so my rates are non negotiable, it's not worth my time to be honest to do it for less.

    Thanks for your intrest though

    ive been prepping my interior pieces for paint and let me tell ya its a pain in the ass! Im painting the AC/Heater vents, side window defrosters and the billet aluminum e brake handle ( cause it had some bad scuffs and i wanted it yellow) anyway her prices are pretty cheap. Ive spent hours sanding and learning what to do and not do. I was having a hard time with the side window defrosters despite a very thourough cleaning and sanding. I finally got them right, everytime i painted them there would be spots that would not hold paint and i kept having to re sand it down and start over. I m no pro so i dont have a spray gun or airbrush. I use Krylon Fusion sunbeam Yellow paint for plastic. I didnt use any primer on those pieces. I got smart and decided to use primer on the AC/ heater and front windshiled defroster vent though. They are primed right now. Here are the pics of what i got so far, except the side window defroster vents. Those are at work. i ll bring them home tomorrow. and post pics.

    Ryan

    edit. On the e brake handle i didnt use the Krylon. I used primer and yellow Rustoleum spray paint. I still have to west sand it and put black stripes in the 3 rings on the handle. after it dried i had to put it on to see how it would look.
