paint

[polarity]

Anyone know a great spot to get plastics painted? I have the phoenix edition 09 and I love it, but I would love to get it painted instead of stickers (maybe do a silver with silver phoenix painted on it in kind of the ghost flame type style of paint).

Where are you located ?

Currently in East Ohio (Martins Ferry about an hour from Pittsburgh, PA) but I travel with work. I could be here another 2 months or another 4 years. Never any way to know, but I'm hoping I'm here through the spring at least.

Fixed the wrong link thanks for the heads up

That's pretty cool but will be a tad $$..


Also you get a scratch which will require a whole new custom paint job. Than a simple single coat and slap a new sticker on.. Either way post pics if/when you get it done

Unfortunately Nate doesnt have anywhere to paint anymore, so I'll be on the lookout in the next few months.

I might try and get a second set of OEM plastics to do the paint later next year, see how it goes.

That 's a shame the man is talented oh well keep looking or ask MO like I suggested he might give you some leads

I've got a question which would be cheaper to buy new OEM plastics (need a tail/right side) graffiti or bondo and reliant/paint match the original plastics..?

I took body shop and was top of my class of 200 in college/high school and would be a cool project but if it would be easier/cheaper to just buy new plastics and stickers I'd go that way..


Sorry for the thread back but its semi relevant I guess. Hope you don't mind OP!

I have a couple of guys in Michigan. I can be your middle man if you can't find anyone local.

Thanks for the input folks, if I go the second set of plastics idea it would be too pricey to start right now (still need to get my slip on, tripage and some other mods first) but if I just had them paint the originals that could be cheaper and maybe happen before spring.

Have to see what the wife says.
