Looking for a Painter

[BILLET]

I've been calling around to some local paint shops to see about getting my boat painted and you would think I'm asking them to donate a kindney or something. Anyone in the So Cal area have any leads as to who to call, or if someone here would be interested in doing the job. I can pay cash or trade machining work, custom made parts and stuff like that. Thanks Billet.

Last time I checked, craftsmen make good money, including machinists my friend. Are your rates/work up to par?

You want a legendary job done, it isn't going to be cheap.

I didnt say anything about being cheap, I was saying that everyone I talked to didnt want to have anything to do with painting a boat. It had nothing to do with the price, hek no one even wanted to look at my boat thay just said no way.
And yes since starting this thread I have seen some of Billys work, and it is some of the best that I've seen. But I think that his talents far exceed my needs at this point and for this boat. But believe me he will be the first person I call on when I buy a boat worthy of his work.

Your post seemed rather slanted with talk of donating kidneys and such.....sorry about that.
You know, Billy would paint anything you want, mild or wild.
