I think he is trying to let people know that he will be getting a shop. He has painted my car, his car and Shawn's car along with another one that is now in process. The last car mentioned, he is having the owner help out and do body work, just like the all the other 928 cars. He is not going after the 928 market as an advertising blitz. What he is charging is very low and having the 928 owners work with him is where it is headed. He will be acquiring a few local body shops to get his business going so this site is not a medium for getting the huge 928 market in Florida .
He is very excited about this and doing it on a shoe string so a little support would be nice, he is not a Mason for sure. do what you fell is right for the forum but I am behind him on this.

Yeah, he has painted quite a few 928's and most have been a joint venture where the car owner performs most of or at least a good portion of the hard work and disassembly so that they can afford the caliber of paint job he provides. This includes my car. This is only a secondary business away from his regular day job. He will be doing dealership and insurance work to keep the lights on. The 928 work is because he loves the cars. Please go easy on him, he's an asset to the FL 928 community.

Seriously though, I wish he lived out here. I would LOVE to be involved with the paint work on my car. I just know I'm going to IRRITATE THE HECK out the shop doing my car when it's in there. I'm going to be there everyday nitpicking probably...

I'm sure you are the sort of customer most shop owners dream about
