OK I got super lucky there we are trading me doing some low volt electrical work for some painting.. so free to me !! I know that when i called some other shops out here it was like 75$ - 150$ for 4 coats of black and 4 clear coats + mounting on the car we will be painting black behind the grille so the white don't shine through it and we will be putting a chrome wire mesh behind the lower grille..

I think I'll just rattle can mine black with a clear and then hope it comes out looking nice

I don't wanna spend $100ish on something I spent $75 on just for them to shoot a piece of plastic

Just checking in.

Congrats Justin on the news of work man.

I just called a place looking for people and they said that i am too old ( just not in so many words ). They are looking for people out of school cause they are trying to have a "YOUNG" image. It seams that they dont care if the a 43 year old guy is perfect for the position and would be a loyal employee. They just want kids with those stupid looking hair cuts ( the ones that look like you just got up out of bed and were to lazy to brush your hair ) and then move on the first change the get.

Do employers not realize all the money they are loosing because of these practices? They are spending time and money to train kids just so they can move on with something else. They need to hire the 40+ people with years of experience and loyalty and actually build a stronger company.

End Rant.

Sorry, but its the truth.
