I'd recommend them to you. Great work. But you have to be patient. A life skill I need to improve (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

Looks great Gwen. Tell us about the new paint. I'm guessing McMark/Brandon were involved on that.

Thanks Demick.

GTEENER looks oh so shiny again. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wub.gif)

Yes, the new paint was done by Brandon, facilitated by McMark. They do speedy work. I think the job was finished in a week.

Brandon did some ding/dent removal a little top-side rust reversal maintenance work then gave her a new top coat. Color match is great.

Actually each step cost about equal (+/- $20 (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) )

No, I don't think there is a clear powdercoat over the paint & polish. At least it's not a line item on my invoice (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif)

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/huh.gif) weidman does great work.... but thats pretty pricey at 250 a wheel......

al reed is about 75 a wheel (paint and polish), and another 25 to powdercoat clear them, and rsr finish i think is about 125 each... ( n o idea on what he charges to dechrome.....)

with that being said, i guess you made up the difference in prices by not having to ship en to al....
