Default Re: Painting Information HOK House of Kolor

You know I painted this guys truck on silver. Painted some Harley Davidson badging like on the fords with one on the tailgate. I brought the truck to him to approve the flames on the one side before I did the other since the truck was going to be painted Kandy Tangerine Orange on top. He approved all the work and loved the truck. 2 weeks later he took it to Mike Lavallee here in Snohomish and he wanted to know who did the flame work since it was done on silver but, still popped. Not too many people paint real fire on silver. Mike quoted him $6500 to do some flame work but, he would not do it on silver he wanted to peal the metal back and paint black under then do the flames... a week after the customer told me this he took it to his painter to have the top done and ended up painting over all my work. 35 hours. Gone. It sucked~ but, I traded him for what I owed him on my Harley so it was not a total loss.
