We use PPG exclusively. If you know of something better I am always willing to listen.

No we have Nyquist and Colours only around here. We haven't had the best luck with Dupont products though.

Kevin, i have tried unsuccessfully to contact you recently to find out about pricing for paintwork on my car. Would you mind shooting me a PM or email?
Thanks,
James

Kevin is a busy man - But he's certainly worth having on your team!

he's like the busy contractor that everyone wants - Some vendors don't even list phone #'s or they would be on the phone all day- Take it from my experience, Once you do speak with him- you WILL have to tell him your house in on fire before he lets you go! Very Thorough.

I've seen both of these cars at Hershey and they are stunning!

The problem I had with dupont is the clarity after cutting. Just didn't seem to want to flow well. What's up with the other 928 you are doing? Anything special???

Nice!!! I hope to see that Shark. Frenzy 13, I hope.
After seeing your abilities, I realize how much of a missed opportunity your not getting hold of Kevin's '89 GT was. I lost track of it long enough for it to sell for cheap. It had huge potential in the right hands....probably went for parts

Kevin,

When you picked up the 951...you should have called - I live 5 minutes from Odenton...

Jp, I wish I could have gotten that GT! Thanks for tryin' bro. See you at the frenzy.
Don, I didn't know you were that close or we could have shook that 951 down properly. I would like us all to get together now that the weather is nice. Up to a party Mr. T?
Bill I am glad you are so close and can't wait to see your beast when it is done.
I actually have the final pics of my 928 ready for editing tonight and posting tomorrow night.
Thanks for all your support fellas.

Here are the final pictures. To be blunt, these pictures don't do it justice. I'm not happy about it. The person (whose name we wont' mention...lol) who took them used a bad camera. Please keep that in mind while viewing...

The lighting stunk inside the shop which made matters worse. I did the best I could with what I was given. I would be able to take better shots on a sunny day with my camera. It is dark and rainy today or I would do these over right now. If I had my way, these pictures wouldn't be uploaded at all.

For those people who care about this kind of stuff... The camera used is only a 3.2 megapixel. Mine is much higher, so my camera would take clearer, more detailed pictures. Hope we can remedy this very soon. I'm just really picky that way...

Thanks,

Laura

That is only so stinkin' hilarious because it is so right on! TOO FUNNY Joe Cat! You've got Kevin pegged.

Nice work,

The pictures are a bit blurred because of camera shake, 3.2mp should give reasonable images, but light is an issue so should have used a tripod really and set timer shutter.

Stunning work Kevin!
What are the price ranges for that level of paint job?
