    Beware

    I took my bodywork to this guy Derrick(Ponyboy319)on the premise of paying 150.00 for a decent paint job . so two weeks go by and I go pick it up . There are huge runs everywhere . There are missed spots that didnt get painted There is paint chipping from bad prep work the whole left side of my lower was not clearcoated and the list goes on . But the best part of all of it is when he tells me its gonna be $400.00 for one of worst paint jobs I have seen and then tells me the 150.00 I was quoted wasjust for the lowers feel free to drop by my pit anytime and see the shitwork that this hack did on my bike . I am going to pay for it on principle alone . I have been pondering what to do about it but I guess I will pay for it and warn everyone else . or he is gonna take me to small claims court for $900.00

    You don't go to the grocery store and buy rotten food, why would you pay for shitty paint work. If the cat wants his money, make him do it right!






    If your that willing to throw money away, I can get a helper monkey and a can of spray paint, and I'll only charge you $200, well as long as the monkey isn't union.

    I'm somewhat surprised to hear this, considering how he did (to the best of my recollection) a pretty damn good job on Hoopty's F3 bodywork last year.

    I don't know the price of paint, but I seem to recall him offering paint services for the price of the paint & shop supplies alone. $150 sounds a little "too good to be true" for 3 pieces of bodywork (or 4 if you include the tank), but what do I know. $400 sounds along the lines of what Morse would have charged you for 4 pieces (tank + all bodywork -- fender gets painted free).

    It's quite possible that he was only quoting you $150 for the lower, but if he expects you to pay for (any of) it, then I think you have the right to expect a quality product.

    Keep us posted.

    Re: Beware

    I don't know what to say bob.
    Also if he would have taken it to Morse he wouldn't be having this issue...they would have seen their crap work and been like we are gonna need a few more days to make it right.
    Butters was like "here dude...lets go into my parents garage (aka: my shop/paint booth), i'll be done in like five minutes..." Five minutes passes and so far you've heard him shake a bunch of spray paint cans and drop them all over the floor. He comes out all black and is like "that'll be $400"

    Nice story. I'm not saying it didn't happen that way, but that's not the way Ed made it sound. I'm going to call on your version.

    Re: Beware

    Just "borrow" the paint job and stop posting on the board until you decide to pay at your leasure. Then, after multiple threats you can pay up and then start posting again as if you never did anything wrong. Wait, who were we talking about?

    Maybe you should give him a chance to fix it?

    Ponyboy step up and redo your shitty work, you have a bad enough rep around here as it is.

    Where you at in Northglenn? I'm near 112th and York and could stop by to see this paint job. I could also take some pics and post them for you if you aren't able.

    I don't know about a re-do. If his paint work is as good as his self-hair cutting endevors, I'd steer clear.
