    Re: 2009 Skyline GTR

    Thats all just for future reference when you get your business up and going. Glad to hear you turnes it down, not having insurance. You just saves yourself so many problems dude! Hope you get your business going soon! Good luck

    Thank you StatusDetail, I always like coming here and asking for advice prior to taking a job, or quick fixes.

    To charge that much an hour requires skill. And know how, the thing I was lacking is insurance and an official business.

    I am still at the hobby stage, while a hobby might not be a 9-5, it does require passion. I have said it before and here it goes again, I don't do it for the money, I do it for the passion. (Of course I don't work for free )

    Thanks Again Everybody,

    Side Note: I had to go to a mechanic for the green mirage, I talked to one of the mechanics, I went to go look at his paint, it "looked"like single stage.

    I know this is frowned upon on AGO, I told him, "next time you wash your car, look at how it looks when it is wet, this is how it will look when it is polished, (give or take)

    I also told him he can apply glazes and waxes, to bring out the shine and protect the paint that is left, until/if it gets polished and sealed, of course it will need a repaint, but a true repaint might cost more than the 85 something mustang

    StatusDetailing has made some great points about taking on a high end car for sure, gotta know whom your customers are when asking $1200-2000 for a paint correction and protection package, that's some serious cash but worth when done correctly, can't put a price on a stunning result on black paint....oh wait, I guess you can, LOL!

    Once again, great advice Status!
