Not sounding "mean" but as you mentioned on one pic, you started to get nervous..." THAT is the part that I hate to deal with, customers not understanding the "steps" to get to the finished product. I KNOW whats going on, let me work!! If you wouldn't mind, either public or pm, what is the "neighborhood" of what he charged for that job? I have an idea where I'd be, and I'd like to know how far too cheap I really am!! Being in the business and trying to do "everything" myself, (the prep, paint, striping) I cannot imagaine striping over those louvers! Never striped over them... Car looks great, hope you enjoy the heck out of it!! Donny

I PM'd you the ballpark price. If I put it here, my wife might see it!
The 4 louvered panels took more time than the rest of the car. He didn't want to do it any other way & right now- the louvers are my favorite part. They almost look 3 dementional!

As far as me in the booth- I had a mask, but exited when he shot clear. He actually wanted me in there to make sure I liked it.

The green stripe- man, when Dennis suggested it- I thought he was insane. I wanted an off white or traditional blue. He kept leaning green. Glad I listened!
