Anyone off on Thursday?.............

[AudiBoy808]

If so let me know. I'm thinking of going to different places to get quotes for some stuff.

[HIstateS8]

quotes? for what? paint?

[AudiBoy808]

Yup thinking about going to fermahins and tech one then got to go back to PUC upholstery for another quote on my headliner,door cards, seats, and rear deck.

[Chard]

hate to say it, but i'd skip on fermahins

[HIstateS8]

Well I'd love to go, but unfortunately I have to work and then go to school at 745pm. So good luck on Thursday.

[rusky]

I may be able to Kurt, depending on the time you're thinking of going. I still need to meet up with you too to borrow your tools.

Aww how come did your job not come out good? I looked at Jesses' one and his seemed to be alright. Let me know da scoops.

Hey friday I'll be in your neck of the woods I think? Your work place is in Waipio right? If so I'll be at truck concepts getting the wifes Lexus detailed I'll be there a good half the day waiting for it. So if you want to drop on by call me on my cell. This place is on Ukee St.

[AudiBoy808]

Hey Russ, I'll probably start to head out some where in the 10 o'clock hour. So call me if you want to tag along.

Thanks,

I wasn't too satisfied with their work, to say the least. Donnie, the owner, is a great guy, but his guys did sloppy work; the worst part being they poked 2 holes in my driver's seat and didn't even say anything. Their bondo work and overall fit and finish is about average at best. The shop seems to be more about volume than quality. You'd love them Kurt...they didn't put anything back together. My foglights, turn signals, headlight leveling plugs, pass. mirror...all detached/unplugged.

[Awwwjeez]

Kurt, If you drop your car off at Tech One she can keep mine company. My rear driverside door got keyed on friday afternoon so I'm dropping her off on Monday.

[Erocko]

Man, that sucks. I would have been pissed. JL was expensive, but everything works. Good thing I decided based on distance.

Dude, WTF? Did you report everything? That is totally messed up. I hope they fixed your seat?

[Chard]

I talked with the owner about it. My seat had a small tear in it already, so I wasn't too pissed about it. Now that I think back, I still feel like I should have had them cover a portion of the cost for a new seat cover. That comined with the rest of the sub-par work left me unsatisfied.

I had brought the car back to fix some stuff and it was ready in 2 days. Anyone who does paintwork/bondo would know that it should take longer than that for a good job. At that point, I didn't expect to be able to get any quality out of their work so I just took it.

[AudiBoy808]

Damn Chard ok now that just sucks. Ok so are there any other places guys? I would go to JL but I'm on a budget of $3k for everything I need done.

Thanks,

I'll call him in the morning. I think he opens around 9 or 930. If you are coming from Pearl City take H-1 east to the Nimitz exit past the airport. Take Nimitz to Kalihi Street at Kalihi take a right. Take a left on Silva Street. His shop will be halfway down the block on the left. Parking is pretty limited but you should find something on the street. 808-384-2116 is his # at the shop.

[AudiBoy808]

Hey Nick, thanks I talked to Ryan today and it's going to cost all of my budget to do what I want done so now I have to decide what to do.

Thanks,

[HIstateS8]

Do It!

[Awwwjeez]

Thanks,

What all are you looking to do? Did you check out the other vehicles he's got there?

[AudiBoy808]

What all are you looking to do? Did you check out the other vehicles he's got there?

I need to reclear my hood and I'm also having the sides painted silver so he said I had to blend the fenders, paint my roof blk, and paint my kit. Just those things equal my whole budget. Needless to say I was shocked when Ryan told me my car would cost $3k I'm like damn so I don't know now I didn't think it was going to cost that much. Then I went to PUC upholstery and that total came out to roughly $1700 all this just so that I can enter the show in August.

yeah he had a very nice nsx there and all those trophies damn. I even took Russ with me cause he wanted to see if they could repair a pair of ecodes he bought.

[HIstateS8]

$3Gs for all that work is a good deal, you should take it

[AudiBoy808]

$3Gs for all that work is a good deal, you should take it

yeah that's a good price but just that alone won't make my car ready for the August show. I still need to have my interior done to.

[Jesse S.]

I might check out Ryan at Tech1.

I need to paint my hood and the other fender.

[Jesse S.]

I don't know.

Nick (Awwwjeez) told me about these guys.

[Awwwjeez]

Are those the old Evergreen guys?

I don't know. It's been Tech One Customs since I started going to them in 2006.

Dang...Might be an Audizine convention down there in the next couple days. You can join Kurt and I.

[808a41.8t]

kurt, idk if you made any decisions yet, but i suggest going to jl autobody. i can talk to joel for you if you want. i've seen some really awesome FULL paintjobs from tech1 and have met ryan a bunch of times, but personally IMHO their color matching isn't that great. I was looking to take my lexus there to match the pearl paint, but I saw someone else with the same color as mine that went there, and it didn't come out too good... If you want to check out JL, I'm free tomorrow (Monday) and Tuesday, and would be happy to go down....

Sup Phllip, hey thanks man but I work I was able to go down 2 weeks ago cause I was on vacation. I still haven't decided but need to soon if I want to get my car ready for August. I'll probably make a decision by this week. But I'll let you know.

Thanks,

[boostinmr2]

just as a note, color matching is not exactly the mess up of a painter, sometimes it's also the paint mixer (redline/hi line). Actually 9 out of ten times the paint don't match is because of the mixer. I am sitting on a can of damn dupont right here that they mixed out to be too dark. On the Lexus, it also depends on the painter as it is 3 stage, but more often than mnot, blame the mixer, not the painter.

[HIstateS8]

Well, kurt's paint shouldn't be hard to match.

[AudiBoy808]

Well seem like I'm going to pull the trigger on this had to sell some stuff to get enough money to do this. So I sold my Maya's which was a big chunk but now I'll have to enter the show with my Crimsons. Probably going to drop off my interior pieces to PUC upholstery either this weekend or next they said they need like 3 to 4 weeks to complete my job. I still need to call Ryan at Tech One to see how long he needs my car. Decided not to paint my side of the hood silver to cut back on some costs. But I also need to have my CF trunk installed so I'll check with Ryan on that. I also think I need to have my drivers side door sprayed cause there is scratches on there. Plus I still need to finish my rear rotors and paint my calipers. Hope this is all worth it.

[Awwwjeez]

I'm sure she'll look sick bro. Its gonna cost a lot but it will be worth it.
