I have a 1964 VW Karmann Ghia Convertible and I need to have the body work finished up. I already have the paint its a PPG metallic blue so its not cheap paint. Looking for either someone to do it on the side (experienced only) or for a recommendation on where to take it. Please send PM  
Thanks

I’m a little swamped right now…I don’t know of any professional shops that let you bring in your own supplies for a job though…I’d be about 3-4wks out to spray a car. I have the pop-up in the garage right now while I replace some of the roof panels and structure

I need a little more than just spraying the car. I can spray the car and clear it but I need someone to get it into primer at minimum. I dont need the car done till at latest january. If you are interested you can stop by and give me an idea if your interested or not. Thanks

Oh, I know. I went to Alfred State for autobody and worked in the industry for a few years before ditching it all. But what I’m saying is that all the painters I know can also do body work, not necessarily the other way around.

Difference is he likely CAN, but doesn’t want to, or knows someone can do it better b/c he has better shit to do. Value of paying to have it done, vs. getting balls deep himself. I did a bunch of powdercoating for him, he just wants it done and over with is my guess.

Guy does great work. His specialty is frame off restos but he doesn’t turn work away. He is very OCD when it comes to his work.
