I hear ya! I had originally intended to get mine done for october. But, I keep finding flaws I can straighten out. So I keep going around and around and around..... Originally Posted by PRO53

My best friend keeps telling me I'm such a perfectionist but I just tell him it's something I want to take pride in! I know it'll never be a 100 points "auto".. I just don't want it to look like a hack did it either!
It's funny too that people think I "do it all" around cars when the truth is I just keep trying to do it all!

Yea but now I am getting anxious Originally Posted by lamin8r
The striper I am wanting to use is comming over today, I hope he is reasonable, because being Christmas , haveing kids, doesnt leave much money left on the table this time of year
I have one striper that says he will stripe the flames, dash, headlights, grill shell, 150.00. Thats cheap, but he is not as good, novice like me. Even with paying for a striper should put me at around 1200.00-1300.00 in a paint job,including bufffing materials, not bad I say
Thats just paint
