Shoot me a PM or email - a_victo@yahoo.com
Solids and Metalics - $200
Candies and Transparent - $250
Matching Head Stock- $20
I can do custom color matching for an extra $15 and i have access to formulas for most stock Fender colors. I also have a very large PPG automotive chip deck for all car makes to aid in choosing your color and a deck for PPG Vibrance custom colors which I can make available to customers to look through. If a customer requires a sprayed out test card by me before work begins that will be an additional $10(included with the custom color matching). Unless I already have one on file then its free.
I can alter any existing color you find or mix my own custom color to get it just right for you.
I use all premium PPG materials and most colors including some of the Vibrance Collection are waterborne and have a far superior metallic/pearl effect when compared with solvents not to mention being better for the environment.
Pretty much anything you can think of can be done including color-changing paints.
The prices I have listed would and have covered all the jobs I have done so far. Of course there are exceptions...you tell me what you want done and if I need to charge a little more I would let you know before the body was ever in my hands.
I should state that I do not do lacquer and these are high gloss, durable, smooth slick finishes with a wet look that is far better then most new guitars you will see on the wall in a store.
unfortunatly I can't find the other pictures of guitars I have done.
I did a few for people through rock city guitars and would have no way of getting a hold of them now. I know I have a few other pictures on a disk or disposible camera somewhere.
I don't know about lee garvers prices but mine are $50 less then Wilkins and they have an up charge of $150 for neck through making a job by them $200 more. They are of course "proven" refinishers.
You are welcome to check out the one I own in person though
I'm using PPG Envirobase and love it!! Would never go back to solvent full time!
